Maybe it's a cunning plan, Baldrick... get Farage to come out with a denial, then pull the rabbit out of the hat... "Here's the proof!!"

I admire your optimism.

It might have been tongue in cheek, but actually, Farage calling Burnham a liar opens a door for Burnham, as Farage has nailed his dishonest colours to the mast now, in full public view, when he's already distrusted.

The fact that Johnson said there wasn't feels like incontrovertible evidence that there was to me.

Unfortunately, you are not Farage's target audience.

No point in fighting a past battle, even if it was influenced. Keep powder dry, and all that. Look to the future, and take out Farage if he can.

So why start it in the first place and give Farage an opening to grandstand?

Give him enough rope…..

Give him enough rope…..

We know by now that there isn't a long enough rope for Farage, specially in this subject.

A short rope will do.

Let him get cross and say things he'll regret.

 

[Pross]

A short rope will do.
