Brexit is Farage and his fellow Brexiters' shitstorm to own. He/they can't be allowed to just pivot from heckle to heckle and bad idea to worse - while blaming everyone else - without consequences.

So the suggestion that Labour are going to amplify that truth is to be welcomed.

At the EU Parliament on 16/9/2014, after the annexation of Crimea, Gill and Farage made nearly identical statements claiming an ‘uprising’ had overthrown the “democratically elected Pro-Russian President” Yanukovych, and criticised the EU for supporting his opponents.

You mean he'll be asked questions in the HoC, and presumably give the same answers given to these questions yesterday, isn't that just democracy in action?

#Farage said it was "too early" to answer questions about his party's policies for next year's Senedd election.
No change then, same "no policies" just phrased differently!

I’ve been saying this for ten years now but possibly not often enough: Ask Them What They Think The Words They’re Using Mean. And then ask them to name the ‘problematic’ people. We had ‘sovereignty’, ‘laws’ & ‘unelected bureaucrats’. The US now has ‘Antifa’, the ‘radical left’ & ‘insurrection’. Ask!

#Badenoch is expected to say: "We are the only party with a plan to get our economy back on trust" - Sky News.
I would rather trust a plan of 'Foggy Dewhurst' from "Last of the Summer wine" (BBC series).
#Tories 'grasping at straws' is an understatement.

As someone who's work was based in Birmingham, it's obvious that he was wearing the customary #tory blindfold plus blinkers.
Wasn't he? Just asking!
