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

The more I reflect on it the more I think he absolutely played a blinder.
Listening to the news channels and the pundits chat there was a definite feeling that he was going to permanently quit, also on the radio you could feel the presenters joy, there were jokes and laughter.
Even his announcement statement was worded to make them think he was leaving.
So he hoodwinked every news channel and radio station to run it live. And he used it as a totally free party political broadcast. It was genius.

Genius if you like that sort of muppetry

Not serious politics , he’s saying it’s him against the establishment

You can just see him fail as a PM before he even gets there

Would someone mind reading pages 2-5 for me, and alert me to any sensible posts please. Page one was a belter. Ta.

If you read my post properly you would realise that was not my angle on it. I didn't particularly comment on what he said or if the contents of it were genius.
