We don’t know to whom Ms Phillips is referring.

But we can say that former, and current leader of the party Nigel Farage defended Donald Trump.

After a tape emerged of the Republican presidential candidate boasting about the way he treated women, in very vulgar ways, Mr Farage said: “Look, this is alpha male boasting. It’s the kind of thing, if we are being honest, that men do. They sit around and have a drink and they talk like this.”

“By the way, quite a lot of women say things amongst themselves that they would not want to see on Fox News, or the front page of a newspaper. I’m not pretending it’s good – it’s ugly, it is ugly.”

Some years ago, the former UKIP Godfrey Bloom faced criticism for calling women ‘sluts’ and saying they didn’t clean behind the fridge sufficiently.
