All aboard Ukip’s Common Sense battle bus! Today Nigel Farage’s party took the fight to Portsmouth – or more precisely, Portsmouth and Southsea Station. It’s not entirely clear what the station did to offend Ukip, but the party’s battle bus accidentally collided with it while trying to execute a U-turn.
Hopefully it’s not an omen for what will happen when the party drives back over previous commitments made in its 2010 manifesto.
