Mr Farage has sought to prove his party is more than a one-man band, pointing to the election of two MPs to Westminster.
Ukip announced today that it has hired a veteran BBC producer known for heckling ministers in the street as its new director of communications.
Paul Lambert, known as “gobby”, said he believes Ukip is “changing British politics for the better.” He said Mr Farage is “one of the best, most hardworking and most normal political figures I have worked with, and trust me I have seen the lot".
In one famous exchange in 2005, he asked Cherie Blair when her husband planned to resign, sparking the response: “Darling, that’s a long way in the future.” That sparked speculation the Prime Minister was planning to stay until 2010.
