Nigel Farage causes problems for Alison Jackson ahead of leaders’ debate

Tonight’s leaders’ debate will see the seven party leaders battle to be heard on ITV. The set up has given organisers a headache as they work out how to arrange it without the debate descending into chaos.

For Alison Jackson who is going to shoot a lookalike version in its aftermath, she has another issue to contend with. The English artist, who is known for her lookalike photographs of celebrities, is in the process of assembling a team of political doppelgangers.

While David Cameron and Nick Clegg have been located, there are still a few more to be found, including Nicola Sturgeon. However, the man causing her the biggest problem is Nigel Farage.

‘I am still looking for a Farage. It is very difficult as his face is so unique,’ Jackson told Mr S at Spectator Life’s third birthday party. In a bid to find one, Jackson is organising a Farage boot camp in the Ukip leader’s usual habitat. ‘I am assembling all my Farages in a pub and teaching them about Nigel’s eccentricities.
