Nigel’s statement. Live now. Resigning as MP. Forcing a by-election. Will stand again.

The news

Correct.

The news.

Other news.

More news.

 

[noseall]

hats off to farage - he is going to the electorate to get a mandate

He's fleeing accountability so he can take a breath.

His corruption will follow the scumbag around like a stench.

Without knowing much about this can I assume he's not resigning on principle

 

[mikehammer69]

Imagine having this muppet running the country

No, he's resigning on a lump sum payment.

.... on principle

Farage, principle, in the same sentence?
The man who sung anti-Semitic songs at Jewish pupils, then denied it, then admitted it was just banter?

We had one just step down!

That's a lie

 

[noseall]

That's a lie

Correct. He clearly can not sing.

Good old Nige, a masterstroke.
I wonder, if he's re-elected, will there be anything to be investigated by the electoral commission as the £5 mil gift would have been well over 12 months before he was (re)elected?

I reckon a big % of MP's have skeletons in their wardrobes and also have been used to accepting nice 'gifts'. That's part and parcel of politics at that level. In America it is much worse!

Live anywhere in the SE?

I would rather sh#t in my hands and clap.

Not to mention walking into a directorship a few months after leaveing the very job in government that was in charge of regulating the same sector.
The revolving job door of politics.

Exactly. It's the norm when it comes to being an MP.
