In this gripping interview, Henry Bolton OBE — soldier, former UKIP leader, and counter-terror expert — sits down with Andrew Gold to unpack one of the most talked-about political scandals of the past decade. Once hailed as a military hero and the man who could rebuild UKIP after Nigel Farage, Bolton’s leadership collapsed in a storm of controversy over his relationship with Jo Marney, a model and party activist thirty years his junior.

From war zones to Westminster, Bolton reflects on his transformation from decorated officer to embattled politician. He opens up about the intense scrutiny, media frenzy, and personal fallout that followed the scandal that ended his career — and reveals what life inside a collapsing populist movement really felt like.

Born in Nairobi and trained in the British Army, Bolton served across Bosnia, Kosovo and Afghanistan, earning an OBE for services to international security. But in politics, his mission was tougher: to rescue a party in chaos after Brexit. So how did a man who thrived in military precision find himself consumed by infighting, betrayal, and moral warfare within his own ranks?

In this explosive conversation, Bolton finally tells his side of the story.

Was he a victim of tabloid hysteria — or the architect of his own downfall?

What was it really like leading UKIP in its darkest hour?

And what does his story reveal about ego, ambition, and the cost of public shame?

This is a rare, brutally honest look at how power, love, and scandal collide — told by the man who lived it.
