Ukip crisis: The best reactions so far to the Nigel Farage infighting – and that BBC c**t slip up

By: Lynsey Barber

Ukip is in turmoil as some very public in-fighting grabs the headlines.

We all love a real-life political drama, but this is no House of Cards and that means there may be some ridicule of the embattled party which appears to be imploding.

Of course, photoshop (which surely must have become the thing most feared by politicians in the modern age) really helps.

But perhaps Ukip are so far gone, they're beyond photoshopping?

I've not given up photoshopping it's just today's #Ukip pics don't need it.

This is probably the best insult of the row so far.

Then there was the BBC, which suffered a slight snafu itself when reporter Norman Smith slipped up pronouncing the word cult.
