So you’ve decided to set up a new party. Eight tips from UKIP’s experience.

The SDP analogies are all wrung dry. But nobody has looked at what a more recent insurgency can teach the new outfit.

Hugo Lucas: We aren’t saying that young people matter more than older people, Chloe. We’re simply saying that they matter.

It is a glaring act of mental collectivisation to lump Our Future, Our Choice in with those who think that over 75s should not be allowed to vote.

Grayling, Patten, the Far Right, the IRA, Brexit, the Speaker – and the difference between a threat and a warning

If two men are in a car, and the passenger says to the driver: “Look out! You’re going to crash,” he is shouting out the second, not the first.

To be a tall poppy in UKIP was for many years a dangerous thing – unless your name was Nigel. He left them without a developing new generation.

A bit of romantic rhetoric from Brussels cannot change the fact that their only offers – before and after we voted Leave – have been provocatively unacceptable.
