While other party leaders might mark the end of their tenure with a stiff drink or a short break, Nigel Farage celebrated his final conference as Ukip leader by taking a late-night skinny-dip during a thunderstorm. “I can tell you he’s demob-happy because we had dinner last night and we had a few drinks and it was late at night and we went skinny-dipping off Bournemouth pier. He said: “Can we just record for posterity that you, Arron Banks, and Nigel Farage last night went skinny-dipping off Bournemouth pier. Is that what you said?”Banks replied: “Well, Nigel actually said to me, ‘Let’s go for a paddle’. “It’s no good for Ukip and, looking at him, he doesn’t look very happy, I can’t believe it’s very good for him either.”
