Farage is, always has been and always will be the establishment. Like his hero Trump his skill is being able to persuade people he is one of them when in truth he is of money, for money and obsessed with having it. As for being subject to over zealous media I can think of few other senior politicians who have had such an easy ride from our press over the years. Questions unanswered. Scandals ignored. Treated as a jovial commentator. Today was a long desperate whinge by a man being found out and needing to shift the narrative. Classic Trump distraction strategy. Still at least a by election means the people of Clacton might get to see him for once. Will be discussing on @RestIsPolitics with @mehdirhasan out later today
