The Trotskyist revolutionary

DR ALKA Sehgal Cuthbert, a hard-Left academic and a former member of the Revolutionary Communist Party, has formed an unlikely alliance with Nigel Farage.

Dr Cuthbert, whose father immigrated from India in the 1960s, earned her PhD from Cambridge University. She says Brexit was a ‘working-class revolt’ that could lead to a surge in Trotskyist socialism.

‘I’m not doing this for Nigel Farage,’ she has said.
