Lovely stuff. Have a Corbyn Bourbon on me! I tried that earlier, but you just can't get rid of them.

I reckon he plans to get on board with Leadsom if she gets the gig and assists her with Brexit. He's also probably sick to death of Carswell. Like we all are..
Supported Palace for over 69 years since the age of 7 and have seen all the ups and downs and will probably see many more ups and downs before I go up to the big football club in the sky. |

OK explain to me how a non elected member of the public can attain a cabinet position as they have to be members of either the house of Lords or Parliament, and Farage is unlikely to be either in the next 4 years at least if ever.

Love or hate Farage, I ask the questions: Did he help to shake up British politics and play a big part in getting the traditional "big three" having to wake up a little bit and be a bit less complacent? Did he contribute to British people becoming more interested in politics either to vote for or against his views? I totally get why Farage haters think he's a knob, I can see their point of view, but I would've thought most people can see that he made a lot of positive differences during his time as UKIP leader even if you can reel off a much longer list of negatives. For me the list of positives is longer than the list of negatives, but I do respect people will have a conflicting view. I just don't buy anyone writing him off as having contributed nothing, wherever your allegiances lie.
