They calculate that only an alliance between the right and the far right can ensure their party’s survival. The crash that Farage and Johnson contemplate with such insouciance is as much a constitutional as an economic monstrosity. One of the first acts of a Johnson regime will be to fire Olly Robbins, the prime minister’s Brexit adviser. Jeremy Corbyn agrees with Johnson and Farage on the need for Brexit, however, and only queries the detail. Don’t be hysterical, old chap: Johnson is a joke, Farage a pub bore and Corbyn a passive-aggressive crank.
