This is an interesting tweet from Richard North a former colleague of Farage.

I worked with Farage from 1999-2003 when he was first elected as an MEP, sharing an office with him in Strasbourg. I stayed at his home, travelled with him, dined and entertained when we were in Europe, and worked with him in the UK.

Outwardly charming, he is in fact a vindictive, aggressive bully, with a huge chip on his shoulder. He is intolerant of criticism, has no loyalty to anyone, and will shaft anyone who disagrees with him, gets in his way or poses a threat (usually by underhand means, via third parties).

I am not surprised, therefore, that you have come to your view. Most people who have been close to Farage feel the same way and would not trust him in the slightest. Many more will come to the same conclusion, and eventually the Farage bubble will burst. I hope it does so before he does even more damage.

Pure Trump, pure Orbán, and now this Goodwin confection of disagreeability. These people are dangerous vipers, and every one of them has a poisonous hintergrund. Domestic security forces should be all over them like a cheap suit.

Domestic security probably went to the same schools.
