Farage Cautioned For Being Drunk and Disorderly

Nigel Farage’s city trader son will receive the caution after being found a bit worse for wear by cops in central London. A rite of passage for the offspring of any great leader.

It happens to the best of us…

Voters Trash Clegg’s Failed Fairness Mantra

Clegg’s strategy in coalition has been to promote the LibDems as the party of fairness. Apparently with no sense of irony, he has attacked the Tories for failing to “adopt the politics of fairness”, told Martha Kearney he is the “voice of fairness” in government, and dreamt up that catchy-as-it-is-believable slogan “Building a fairer Britain”. Unfortunately for Nick, repeating something over and over doesn’t mean the public will believe him.

A YouGov poll out this morning finds only 6% think Clegg would be the most effective leader at making Britain a fairer place. Nearly double that, 11%, choose Nigel Farage as the fairest party leader. There’s bad news for Ed too, he comes second to Dave by 21% to 19%. Topping the poll is public apathy: 29% said no leader could deliver a fairer society. People might disagree about what fairness means, but nearly everyone agrees Clegg won’t deliver it…

LISTEN: Farage Hangs Up on BBC Radio Scotland

“I’m sensing similar hatred from this line of questioning as I got on the streets yesterday… [Question: Remind me how many elected representatives you have in Scotland?] Absolutely none, but rather more than the BBC do. We could have had this interview in England a couple of years ago, although I wouldn’t have met with such hatred as I’m getting from your questions. Frankly, I’ve had enough of this interview, goodbye.”

Trip went well then…

WATCH: Song For Nigel

Record highs in the polls, surpassing expectations in the local elections and never seeing your face off the TV are all well and good, but you haven’t truly made it until you star in a Portuguese rock band’s music video. Apparently Joe x Ppl’s latest offering was inspired by the idea that politicians think the public are less than individuals. All money made from downloads goes to Portuguese charities helping those who have suffered from recent EU-related events…

Come Whine With Me

Guido revealed the guest list at the unlikeliest dinner party of the year in yesterday’s Sun column. At a soiree hosted by Russian billionaire’s son Evgeny Lebedev, Nigel Farage broke bread with celebrity luvvies such as Goldsmith heiress Jemima Khan, Labour’s former prince of darkness Peter Mandelson plus TV personalities Stephen Fry and Janet Street-Porter. “Bonkers” was Nigel’s verdict. Well he wouldn’t want to damage his anti-establishment credentials, would he…

Andrew Pierce on Ed Balls…

“Porky Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls sweet-talked guests at a fund-raising dinner by saying if he wasn’t a politician, he would be a chef. That’s not surprising, since he was accused of cooking the Treasury books when he was Gordon Brown’s boot boy.”
