Friday caption contest: Farage’s new look

Now that Nigel Farage is stepping away from frontline politics, he has more time to focus on his family, television career and… appearance. In an interview for Russia Today (natch) with Sam Delaney, Farage has unveiled his new facial hair.

With the look so far receiving a mixed reception online — with some likening it to that of an American daytime television host — Mr S welcomes your caption suggestions. The winner will be announced on Monday.

Update: … and the winner is K G Barrett for coming up with a solution to Ukip’s troubles in their leadership contest — with the caption:

‘Nigel Farage? I’m sorry, I have never heard of him. My name is John Bull, and I’m standing for leadership of Ukip’.
