Farage on the back foot

[boringblock_21]

That's a can of worms Burnham won't want to open. He's just put the taxpayers of Manchester on the hook for over £4 million.

I’d make the argument that Burnham didn’t immediately stand for the same position. But I’m aware thats not necessarily obvious or important to some voters.

No, he abandoned his previous electorate in pursuit of personal advancement, leaving them with the bill.

 

[JackG]

Hmmm. Doesn't look like anyone's going to stand against him - Tories, Lib Dems, Restore all say no.

I’m not necessarily a Burnham fan, but I think you can make an argument that while personal ambition obviously played a role in Burnham’s decision, he also saw an opportunity to make the country better vs just greater Manchester.

I’m not sure Burnham’s ever had a thought about making the country better. More like getting what he’s always wanted.Third time lucky.

I wouldn't give him (the) oxygen

Blimey! What a run and what a goal!

Wrong thread mate.

Wrong thread mate.

Yes - anything good in the USA is by Trump - and needs putting on that thread

“It’s a chance to stick two fingers up to the entire establishment,” he told voters in the constituency. “If I win, you win, if I lose they win.”


Literally turning into his hero Trump

Greens are in. They jumped the gun. Naive.

I think the lack of sleep is kicking in. I'm basically nocturnal now after the last few days

Labour are not standing either.

If the Greens do put up a candidate why not Polanski? Make it a contest.

 

[Chris_Boro]

As mentioned earlier, Farage has had his bluff called and his attempt to circumvent the standards investigation into him has backfired.

 

[TeaCider]

The Greens better not stand now.

It spoils a universal humiliation if they do.

I hope Kemi’s first sentence prediction turns out to be true - and after this stunt he is forced to stand in a by-election

I don't agree with too much she says or does but she is spot on with this

Farage v count binface

 

[ThePrisoner]

Look on the bright side: by his staying in public life the press can legitimately keep investigating and asking questions about his corrupt finances and associations with criminals.

Goodness knows what they might already have that will be made public in the next few days.

Blimey. even quicker than I thought.
