Nigel Farage announced his resignation this morning.
Since becoming leader of Ukip, Farage has used immigration as a diversion from the real challenges this country is facing. Serious problems – a low wage economy, public services under severe strain and a Britain divided between rich and poor – are being felt in every corner of this country and the biggest Establishment stitch-up in a generation has been blaming migrants for all of them. Farage was the frontman for this unforgivable campaign.
During the referendum debates, Farage did something that no one thought was possible: he sank to a new low. He will be remembered for that disgusting poster which used the suffering of refugees for political gain.
It is a sad fact that Farage’s departure won’t end “Faragism”. Indeed, with a different leader and with the Labor Party in turmoil, Ukip could become even stronger.
