Farage has written this knowing that his party is a gift to Labour at this election because it's splitting the right wing vote and will very likely hand Starmer an even larger majority than he could have hoped for Image
Farage knows that after the election fingers from the right will be pointed at him asking why he helped Labour so gladly given he'll have little to show for it (I'd guess no more than 5 seats and possibly just 1).
Obviously his dream is to take over the Conservative Party but they have their own right-wing opportunists who are already plotting how to claim the leadership and they'll make sure to keep him out

“You just want to hate all black women because she’s there” - nobody should have trouble describing this sentence as overtly racist and condemning whoever uttered it.
You might be surprised therefore to hear what government minister Mel Stride said when he was asked about it this morning:
Stride doesn't think that sentence, which is clearly about race, is about race. You might ask yourself if he's gone mad? Close, he's delivering a line given to him by the Conservative Party

On the first day of Christmas my true love sent to me… A partridge in a pear tree. Ate it. A partridge, surely before being eaten
On the second day of Christmas my true love sent to me… Two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree. Ate them. Two turtle doves, shortly before being eaten
On the third day of Christmas my true love sent to me… Three French hens, two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree. Ate them. Ooh La La. Three French hens, shortly before being eaten

Today Suella Braverman said: “Illegal migration is an existential challenge for political and cultural institutions of the West. Multiculturalism makes no demands of the incomer to integrate. It has failed. It has allowed people to come to our society and live parallel lives”
Putting aside that she gave the speech in the United States of America, which has quite a bit of immigration and still managed to become a world political and cultural superpower, let’s consider what she means by asserting that immigrants are a threat to British culture
What’s the most culturally British thing you can think of? How about a meal of fish and chips, a pint of beer and attending the last night of the proms?

This party took place at the Conservative’s offices in London on 14 December 2020. It was attended by at least 24 people.
On the same day Conservative Health Secretary Matt Hancock gave a press conference and told the UK public:
“To control this deadly disease, we all have a role to play. Everyone should minimise their social contact, because that’s how we can control the spread of this disease.”
He added: “Turning to London and south and west Essex, and south Hertfordshire – in these areas we have seen sharp exponential rises in the past week”
The full transcript of what he said is here:
