And it isn't even 24%. That was the high outlier from recent polls. There have been others since putting them at ~18% which is where they are on a combined poll of polls. Just dribbles being misleading, as usual. Hell there were some polls put them as low as 10% fairly recently.
And as soon as they start to pick policies, that number will go down. Especially as their far right tendencies start to leak out.

I'm not seeing what your argument is there.
Quoting from article you linked in 2016:
Mr Farage was asked if a Brexit vote on June 23 would help save the huge Tata-owned steel plant in Port Talbot, South Wales, and secure the future of the industry across the UK.
He said: “We can give you a chance. We can give you a fighting chance”.
Mr Farage said leaving the EU would allow Britain to make energy costs more competitive and offer greater protection against China’s dumping of cheap steel on international markets.
He also hit out at EU procurement laws, adding: “Whether we are building a warship or whatever it is, under EU rules we have to tender this out to German companies and French companies as well.
"So yeah: Could we give the British steel industry a chance? Yes.
"If we vote to Remain on June 23 it is the end of the steel industry in this country. Simple as that."
Well, first, you still haven't left, so no mentioned (potential) benefits from that, and second, it was still just a chance, not certainty.
I don't use language in the same way Dribbles does, you do.
Attempt suggests I was unsuccessful. Mocking racist twats like Farage is one of the easiest and most effective things to do against them, as his reaction to being milkshaked shows.

The only thing that saves the British industry is huge government subsidies. The nature of the national and global economy mean steel production in the UK is just not feasible in any meaningful sense unless there is some huge change in how that market operates (no, Brexit wouldn't even get close).
What confuses is me is the amount of politicians and commentators willing to extol the virtues of the free market, yet, when it fails as spectacularly has it has done here, they are the first to propose government intervention. They are often the same people who say we can't afford social welfare... then demand we all pay for corporate welfare.
Nope.
In fact the difference is easy to spot - being Russian, i'm pretty much ignoring articles outright.
And yet you failed... quite sad. Do better next time.Attempt suggests I was unsuccessful. Mocking racist twats like Farage is one of the easiest and most effective things to do against them, as his reaction to being milkshaked shows.
While Dribbles types like a Russian troll who learnt English from a 1800s textbook, what's your point?
In what way did I, or everyone else linking the racist's posts fail?
Farage promised that a vote to leave the EU was the only way to save British Steel, the UK voted to leave the EU, and now the direct effects of the UK voting to leave the EU have led to the end of British Steel - which bit of that is inaccurate?
NIGEL Farage was reportedly trapped on his Brexit Party bus today over fears people gathered around it were carrying milkshakes.
Brexit party supporters are always going to be angry unfortunately, regardless of us leaving the EU or not.

Are you a secret Brexiteer? Every time you and others mock, call a twat, a paedophile, milkshake brexiteers etc etc, Farage and his popularity rises. Please carry on, I salute your efforts. Sterling and effective job you are doing there for us chief, look how you and others have helped the meteoric rise of the Brexit party in the polls. We couldn't have done it without people like yourself.
Not interested in distributing any leaflets in your spare time by any chance are you?
13/11/2022 Sir Keir Starmer. "Brexit is safe in my hands, Let me be really clear about Brexit. There is no case for going back into the EU and no case for going into the single market or customs union. Freedom of movement is over"
You thought that simply linking two articles and a tweet counts as mocking.
Meanwhile, article you yourself linked explains on which conditions that tweet worked - and Farage isn't even promising that it definitely will even if all conditions will be met.
You're still in EU, and your steel industry is dying - that actually supports rather then undermines Farage's point. "Being in EU" certainly holds much greater weight in demise of steel industry then "Farage's tweets" - and it was already precarious before voting.
Nope, he said actually leaving EU might save steel industry.Farage promised that a vote to leave the EU was the only way to save British Steel, the UK voted to leave the EU, and now the direct effects of the UK voting to leave the EU have led to the end of British Steel - which bit of that is inaccurate?
Not just voting for it.
