Nigel Farage’s alleged teenage comments are a distraction from the damage of his politics
Reports of such appalling behaviour – and Farage’s reaction – give us an insight into the leader of the UK’s rising far-right party.

This sounds bad. Allotments are a form of municipal socialism. Rayner should be all for them.
If they *have* to raise more money from them, surely raising the very low rents would be a compromise? Flog them and they're gone forever
