I’m quite surprised at the strength of my reaction to Farage. As the kids say, I’ve been triggered. Because he is the racist abusers I met in English schools who, 45 years ago, excused their abuse in exactly the same way.

If the rest of the party don't resist (and they haven't, yet), it's the Reform party as a whole that is partial to Russia: a country that is more and more obviously engaging in sabotage and covert undeclared war against UK and the rest of Europe.
