Some people have said they felt bad that Alex Wilson was the most senior person they could get to defend the statements made by Farage, and not one of their sitting MPs.
A bit of misplaced sympathy, when you remember that Alex Wilson isn't some small town local councillor. He's Reform's leader on the London Assembly. A pretty big fish in the limited company masquerading as a political party machinery.
