Agreeing with his caller, Mr Farage said that Theresa May's complimentary tone was trying to appease Jean-Claude Juncker and Michel Barnier.
He said: "She was really praiseworthy of the EU, saying how great they are in terms of security, in terms of trade, in terms of foreign aid.
"She kept promising how we would remain a big part of these great institutions.
