Is Farage as formidable as he appears to be?
About this episode
The episode discusses Nigel Farage's controversial comments following a murder and the implications for political discourse on the right.
This week Nigel Farage has chosen to fuel ‘hatred’ in relation to a horrific murder, seeking to politicise crudely and obviously. Has he been too crude and obvious? Is the fracturing on the right an opportunity for the government, or is it triggering a dangerous debate framed by the far right?
