‘Regrets? Number one: smoking. Number two: taking it up the wrong hole’: Tracey Emin on reputation, radical honesty – and Reform

Farage (suits) and Robinson (streets) reflect a well-trodden pincer movement in the history of fascism. They both claim to despise one another but need one another to keep the fascist train rolling.
