Nigel Farage finally met a force he couldn’t shout down - the bond market.

When the fringe and the manifesto sing the same tune, you don’t have a crank problem - you have a culture problem.

I’ve heard it say that Nigel Farage has no less than seventeen nipples spread over his chest and back.
I’m, of course, not saying it’s true, but we have no evidence saying otherwise.
It could be true, we just don’t know.
