on the contrary, Farage has always been against staying in the single market

Because he knows that staying in the single market means signing up to the four freedoms and ECJ jurisdiction.

Then there was the NHS money and immigration, all nice simple things for people to vote for. Immigration was always under UK control the government was just very bad at dealing with it.

The government was and still is, able to control non-EU immigration. Which it is bad at.
It is not able to control movement of EU nationals, however it did have the option of delaying freedom of movement to the new eastern European members that the Labour Gov at the time declined to do.
The NHS statement was catchy campaign headline nothing more.
