POLITICAL neanderthals Ukip unveiled a raft of supposedly pro-working-class policies yesterday which promised tax cuts for the rich and a stone-age bid to block the fight against climate change.

In an interview with City-slicker-owned Prospect magazine MEP Tim Aker claimed his party was “beyond left-right, authoritarian-libertarian” and just wanted to make people’s lives “easier, simpler” and for them to feel “more comfortable.”

Without pausing for breath Mr Aker — formerly a co-ordinator for shadowy big business lobby group The Taxpayer’s Alliance — listed Ukip’s policy priorities as slashing taxes for people earning £55,000 a year and abolishing the Climate Change Act.
