What is Nigel Farage’s superpower? It is not a talent for government, because the old blowhard has never been so much as the parliamentary undersecretary for paper clips.

'By far the greatest boost to growth would come from reducing the frictions in the commerce with our nearest neighbours.' My favourite political columnist @andrewrawnsley is absolutely right, the trade deal the UK really needs is with the EU! 🇬🇧 🇪🇺 #TheObserver https://t.co/yZBddDlhGk
