A baker's-dozen of insight crammed into one ring.
Summary
The article is a strongly opinionated piece criticizing Nigel Farage for exploiting a family's tragedy (the murder of Mark Nowak's son) to advance his political agenda and bring racist elements back into his party. It describes Farage's shift from holding press conferences to making grandiose "addresses to the nation" from home, portraying him as hiding from scrutiny over financial matters while seizing opportunities to spread division.
