Whenever a problem is too big for Starmer, he reaches for Louise
Nigel Farage wasn’t in his usual place for Prime Minister’s Questions. Instead he was sat in the public gallery, just next to the press benches. Beside him was Arron Banks, who for many years bankrolled Brexiteer efforts to make Britain into the global success story it is today. This ringside seat was his reward, just like the corporate boxes at Wimbledon and Wembley. It fair makes the heart soar.
Banks was wearing a Trump-style overlong red tie. The last few years seem to have been a long jolly for him, sucking up to the worst people on earth, something he has, by all appearances, thoroughly enjoyed. There are of course small clouds in every blue sky, and the six-part £60 million adaptation of his Brexit adventure, which The Telegraph promised would hit our screens in 2018, seems to still be stuck somewhere in the production process. Perhaps Benedict Cumberbatch, reportedly lined up to play Farage, is too busy with his Marvel commitments. Although the other name mentioned certainly has time on his hands, if anyone has a number for Kevin Spacey.
