Farage gets voted down on leaving the ECHR… for now.
Ed Davey quite rightly tears a strip off him.

But really, the corrupt leader of a racist party threatening to remove our protection from abuses of power by our own government, should be the biggest red flag going.

Ohhhh, been at a few counts. Nothing like feeding news at silly o clock am that they are still counting. And again and again...then the long monologue from a winner when everyone else just wants to go home at 5am.
Not sure what I prefer but by heck people will be twitchy.

Problem is I see Farage gaming you again with the risk he could actually do harm here with the Cons wanting this as well.

Problem is I have no idea on procedure or what you mean (process here set.) From my place in the world this looks bad. So I see a party that is not interested in seeing Farage off and leaving it to the others.

I don't get it. An MP posting here "we don't vote" and Nige knows this so he has set the news agenda again.

Gonna need a miracle or seven in Wales if my anecdotal hearings are anything to go by. Bridges are burnt well and truly (life long Labour voters etc.) and bridges ashes scattered in the deepest of oceans.
