FINANCIAL TIMES: Ukip hardens stance on Muslims but steps back from alt-right

Description

Rob Ford, a lecturer at Manchester university, said that Ukip had appeared to have “got its sequencing wrong”, by talking about cultural issues just when the public focus was on talks with the EU. The party risked alienating voters who agreed with its Brexit policy, but “don’t want to be in an electoral clump with Tommy Robinson”, Mr Ford said.
