Looks like UKIP is now too obnoxious even for Nigel Farage.

The founder of the Anti-Federalist League, which later became UKIP, was Alan Sked, who was, and I think still is, centre-left politically. He left UKIP because it had been taken over by the hard right. Now Fartage has left because it has moved further right than even he is happy with. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Sked

Appointing Tommy Robinson as advisor will do for starters.

Of course it is a policy. It's a policy of wanting someone from the far right advising on, um, policy.

The Tories once look sane in the past tense ffs.

A policy is something that would appear in their manifesto.

Not really sure what that means, the Tories are not hard right if that is what you meant, ffs don't start crying wolf because when the actual wolf comes you will live to regret it.
