French politician living with Nigel Farage brands English women ‘drunken tarts’ and says French make better lovers in jealous jibe at Ukip aide accused of being Brexiteer’s other mistress
Laure Ferrari, who moved into Farage's flat last week, claimed French women are 'classy' as they are more 'discreet'
THE French politician living with Nigel Farage fought a bitter rivalry with another woman named as his mistress — and branded English women drunken tarts.
Laure Ferrari, who moved into the ex-Ukip chief’s London flat last week, claimed “classy” French women were better lovers as they are “discreet and respectful”.
An email rant hit out at British women “with a very short dress, tart-looking, drinking massively who vomits in the street and then leave with the first man to pick them up”.
Our revelation came as Mr Farage’s wife said the pair had been living “separate lives” for years and he had moved out of the family home in Kent “a while ago”.
German-born Kirsten Farage revealed the separation after it emerged her husband had been sharing a house in Chelsea with Ms Ferrari, 37.
Mr Farage, 52, who was hit by an egg while campaigning in the Stoke by-election, said suggestions of an affair were “crackers” and claimed he was helping out a friend who needed somewhere to stay.
The pair met in 2007 when Ms Ferrari was a waitress and she later worked with the Eurosceptic stalwart in the European Parliament.
The outburst was aimed at “jealous” Ukip aide Annabelle Fuller — a woman publicly accused of sleeping with the married Brexit chief.
And the leaked email even spoke of a three-and-a-half year affair with a mystery married man. Ms Ferrari last night insisted the long-running feud was not about Mr Farage.
She said: “Honestly I don’t know what I was on about, but certainly not Nigel Farage!”
But an ex-colleague said: “Laure and Annabelle absolutely hated each other and made no effort to hide it. They actively sought to bring each other down in Nigel’s eyes.”
In 2012 Ms Fuller forwarded the email to Mr Farage’s office, claiming it was from Ms Ferrari. She demanded his team “print out and show to Nigel” after he had allegedly accused Ms Fuller of “lying about her”.
The email rant said French women “can be very discreet and respectful hiding a sincere love affair for 3 years and 6 months . . . not looking for any kind of publicity at all.”

And it claimed British women “can put themselves in embarrassing situations with well-known married men whom they kiss in public”.
It hit out at the “same type of women can also steal a woman’s man and then hypocritically lecture other women some years later on the values of faithfulness and sisterhood”.
In 2014 Ms Fuller was named as Mr Farage’s “former mistress” in a European Parliament speech by ex-Ukip MEP Nikki Sinclaire.
Ukip insiders yesterday blasted “haughty and comically arrogant” Ms Ferrari.
Ms Fuller refused to comment but a pal said: “it’s hardly a surprise Laure did not have any other friends to stay with in London.”
Mr Farage and Ukip declined the opportunity to comment.
Speaking on his LBC Radio show, Mr Farage opened up about the “personal difficulties that I’ve had with my marriage and my family and my relationships”.
