NIGEL Farage is certainly value for money. Question Time, Andrew Marr, radio talk show… The audience get their pounds per punch as he takes on “the enemies of the people”. These enemies now include the BBC and any media outlet that questions his view, expressed vicariously through the new Brexit Party. If it was a sitcom it would be brilliant…. but sadly it isn’t.

The party with no policy, other than leaving the EU, will possibly be the protest of choice in the elections this week. The leader who responds to questions about his policy statements with bluster, fluster and swagger could be our next majority leader in the EU, but we know nothing of his intentions on health, education, security and budget.
