yeah but thats whats funny, Farage was their most recognisable face.... but he's never been elected to Westminster. Also one year he got less votes than a guy dressed as a dolphin lolAlready happened. Their most well known party members have either resigned, left the party for others or are considering leaving.
Farage was easily their most recognisable leader, but he seemed to show his true colours when the country actually voted Brexit. The party is dead as dead can be. Their only MP quit the party last year and they've underwent several (4 or 5) leadership changes since Farage quit in 2016.

Election results: Ukip's Nigel Farage finishes behind John Bercow and Flipper
Farage wanted to overturn the Speaker who had enraged the electorate by flipping his second home, but in the end he himself was flipped by a candidate dressed as a dolphin
