Lady Chakrabarti, a former shadow attorney general, said her friend had endured a “sometimes sordid week of unauthorised anonymous briefings by overgrown schoolboys in suits with their feet on the table and maybe watching too much West Wing …”

'More lies from Starmer'

Apparently Farage is making an "emergency Announcement"

Oh goody goody goody

sounds like he will be standing in some poor constituency or other

That is one guy who REALLY like the attention

As long as he loses his deposit I'm fine with that.

I'm just hoping he tries for our place

he won't as it is solid Labour - but I would love the opportunity to vote for someone else
It would be about the only possible way that I would consider actually standing - just on the single policy of "vote for me to piss farage off"

Didn't Al Murray do that in Thanet last time Farage run?

Yes - loved it!!

Sounds like he's standing in Clacton and taking over from Tice as leader.

 

[Beebo]

Poor old Clacton.
It’s a Brexit stronghold. Didn’t they have a ukip MP once.
It’s a white working class costal town which has been forgotten by mainstream politicians.

And to think I posted this originally in the jokes section...

Yup - listening to it now

he is a damn good speaker
only problem is the words and their implications

8th time lucky maybe. Clacton, former home of UKips last MP is probably his best chance.

That is true.
Look at Sunak, Starmer, Davey, et al. Neither of them could throw a half decent polemic at a crowd, Farage, delivers with confidence and is very convincing....

until you listen to him and work out what he is saying and what it means

TBH - I find him scary
really good orators have taken political office before and it has not always worked out all that well

 

[multitool]

He's good at lying, that's about all.
