Can't help but feel those responsible for Brexit should not, for example, be riding high in the polls with a new party...

Farage reeks of Trump.
Voters are being conned into thinking he’d just do the bits they like and without any hideous consequences.
But no. He’d try to do it all.
(He’s not taken on Kruger cos he’s into women’s rights ffs.)
It would be country-collapsing.

Trump is a real danger for Farage. He used to be very canny about staying within the bounds of acceptable opinion. But his refusal to allow clear blue water with Trump means he's chained to an out-of-control individual, adopting extremely unpopular policies on a whim.
Seems like a pretty good attack line to me
Liberal Democrat Health Spokesperson Helen Morgan:
"Nigel Farage wants to impose Trump's dangerous anti-science agenda here in the UK. Peddling this kind of nonsense is irresponsible and wrong.
"It seems Farage would rather see pregnant women suffer in pain than stand up to his idol Donald Trump."

This is key.
Whether it's Trump or Farage, 'Overreach' is in the Hard Right Populist's DNA. It is the son and daughter of 'doubling down'/becoming more extreme over time, and it is their greatest weakness in a democracy, causing voters to ultimately turn against them.
There's a real sense that Farage has grossly overreached with that nasty, intimidating press conference. He'll be coming for members of our community, friends, colleagues, people who are settled here, and when it gets personal he will lose. This might be our best chance to halt his progress yet.
