‘He’s a purging politician’: Michael Crick on Nigel Farage’s fatal flawsIn today’s episode of The Daily T, Tim Stanley and Poppy Coburn are joined by Nigel Farage’s biographer Michael Crick, who breaks down why the Reform UK leader’s latest campaign is a “bogus stunt” and questions whether he has been corrupted by his ties to Donald Trump and American political fundraising culture.
They discuss how Farage has dealt with political scandals and fallouts with former allies, and debate whether he is the ultimate ‘purging’ politician to achieve a 30-year career in politics.
