I am grateful to Nick Robinson for giving Farage the opportunity to repeat how much he admires Vladimir Putin (PA Media)

I am generally not in favour of giving Nigel Farage the publicity he so obviously craves, but I am grateful to Nick Robinson for giving Farage the opportunity to repeat how much he admires Vladimir Putin.

If we did not know before, we now have confirmation from Farage himself that this is the sort of leader he aspires to be. Which is, of course, why he must never be allowed to hold such an office.
