Worth pausing on this because from broadcast coverage you’d think Farage, and historically Johnson, were popular. In the real world the evidence is very clear they are not. The public is very aware these are chancers
@TorstenBell But it doesn't drive any results. Nobody is listening because your opinions and the organisations you quote are not trusted. You never moved the metrics on Johnson and you won't move them on Farage

Has this ever worked for Labour? Well maybe against Tony Benn. But since?? Cameron? Johnson?
