The UKIP leader’s car crash interview with Adam Boulton was so bad we don’t know where to start
Nigel Farage’s old party, UKIP, launched their manifesto today and their leader Pat Mountain – no, us neither – was on Adam Boulton’s Sky News show to talk all about it.
And she knew so little about its policies it was tempting to assume they’d picked up the wrong person from reception.
But no. This really is the leader of UKIP. And she really did say all this.
1. On their key election battlegrounds
You couldn’t make these people up 👇🤡
UKIP’s interim leader Pat Mountain has been so busy with election stuff apparently she hasn’t the faintest clue in which constituencies her party is standing or their key targets

3. On accusations of racism
For your viewing pleasure.
I give you Pat Mountain, slipping into acknowledging that UKIP is a racist party.
ULTIMATE COMEDY GOLD.

4. On whether her party has any black candidates
“Do you have any black candidates?”
“No”.
🤤😂
I’m going to be living off this Pat Mountain interview for days.
All Out Politics, showing us the joy in each day and how beautiful a Monday morning can be.

5. And last but not least, on Brexit (listen to Bolton’s responses)
“I object to the European Court of Justice, open borders…” says @UKIP interim leader Pat Mountain

And just a few things people were saying about it.
No matter how unprepared you are for your working day, you could not be less prepared than Pat Mountain on Sky with Adam Boulton. Reading policies directly from the party manifesto, 44 candidates standing, doesn’t know a single constituency being contested.
