Will Reform and Tories do a deal before the election?!

Last night Farage
Population explosion with 6 million more people

 

Also last night Farage 40 minutes later
Population explosion with 4.2 million more people

Also last night Farage 10 minutes later
People need to have lots more babies

 

 

Mordant - Clueless
Raynor - So so wanted to open up and speak her mind but is unable to
Lib Dem one - Really good and came across well and actually answered questions
The rest - All far better on the spot than the main two parties

 

I look forward to some random words from this being quoted to change the whole context

I actually could see this happening...not sure if Farage actually wants power, think he likes being kingmaker and enjoying the spotlight.

I guess a deal would involve one or other party withdrawing support for their candidate. 

 

"When a validly nominated political party candidate has their party’s support withdrawn after an election nomination deadline has passed, there is no legal mechanism to remove their name from the ballot paper. 

If a candidate in these circumstances has opted to include a political party description and emblem on the ballot paper, by law this must also still be included.  

The bottom line is the Returning Officer has no legal powers to amend the ballot paper or stop the election. Everything must continue as planned in line with electoral law."

 

Deadline was 4pm Tuesday 18 June, so it would be really messy with electors voing for withdraw candisates.

Can we send Farage over to join them? I'm sure they would give him a warm welcome.

Is he saying his aides forced him to take refuge then?

 

But more seriously, it must be awful to have to seek refuge from persecution to try and find somewhere safe to be................ maybe th4e pub owners should threaten to send him to Rwanda and then the picture is complete.

[Neil]

the quote from Farage the other day was priceless, he seemed unaware that people threw stuff at him because they dislike him.

Rayner said when asked if CGT was going up that their plans were costed and funded and so no more tax rises were needed. When pushed and pushed by Mordant she eventually said a clear 'no' to CGT being increased.

At the end in the summing up Mordant said that Labour would hit families with taxes on their home. Certain media, likely from being told to, have run with this suggesting that CGT will be on all house sales even if it is just your one and only home.

It is yet more Tory bullshit.
