Ukip founder Alan Sked claimed in 2014 that Farage was using the n-word in 1997 (aged 33, not 17) to say why Ukip would not secure black voters. Sked resigned in 1997 and criticised Ukip's trajectory under Farage.

In particular

Lazy unprepared to master a brief or detail but instead rely on flippancy/"charm" and glib rhetoric

People pleasing, so constantly flip-flopping to please whoever the last person he had spoken to

Inconsistent

Totally self-interested, narcissistic

Lying and lying and lying
