Oh, no, we're not.
We're not hoping for that, Lucy.
This is what Westminster thrives on.
Exactly.
Yes, I think it is both potentially cynical, but I do think it is increasingly what he thinks.
Nigel Farage's public appearances, I think, have become increasingly self-pitying.
And you certainly saw that on full display in his statement today.
He really does think, I think, that he is the victim of some kind of stitch up and that he's being got at by the powers that be.
But even his own economic spokesperson, Robert Jenrick, says that these are valid questions that he has to answer.
So there are people even in his own party who don't quite agree with his line on that.
You're right.
What it is, I guess, is a pitch to voters, particularly in Clacton, where he is.
He won on with a big majority and.
where he remains, as far as we can tell, quite popular, just to say, I'm the outsider and all these people are out to get me.
It is quite Trumpian and it'll be interesting to see how much that works in this country because so far British politics has not taken quite the Trumpian turn that American politics has.
We still have greater confidence in our institutions, greater confidence in our media than American voters tend to.
So whether these attacks on everybody and a lot of these outlets that he's attacking would normally see themselves as center right, whether they actually work, whether they backfire with voters, I think remains to be seen.
It's an extraordinary claim.
I mean, I remember the attack on Stephen Timms as well, the Labour MP who was stabbed in his constituency.
MPs have been the subject of physical attacks much worse than having a milkshake thrown on them.
