What a creep. Both him and his wife are a pair of chancers

Any mention of UKIP and I am reminded of Neil Hamilton, yuck

mair I have been trying to find a UKIP manifesto, but in its abscence have had to fall back on Nuttall charming utterances and previous UKIP publications. I'd be grateful if you could point out where I can find a UKIP manifesto.

They've already got one MP haven't they?

I would like to see UKIP have a voice in parliament certainly.

I don't admire a man who applies the whip after voting against the party whip 428 times . He has to accept if MP's vote with their conscience and vote against they are just following his example

So you are a Ukipper.
Do you agree with Nuttall that the NHS should be privatised?
I don't think Nuttall needs Corbyn's help to talk himself out of the Stoke seat.

Hard one, Devorgilla. I'd like to know what the lawyers think.

Perhaps they will follow JC's lifelong Parliamentary stance of voting with their conscience. I am of the opinion that MPs from constituencies with a strong Remain vote should support those constituents, if only to make the point that a good settlement needs to be hammered out. I am resigned though to Article 50 being triggered as I think they will have a Brexit majority.

Well its been announced that Jeremy Corbyn is applying a three line whip to his MPs to make them support the triggering of article 50.

I admire Jeremy for this, it's an act of leadership, and it could save Labours bacon in the many Northern Brexit seats that they hold, so in that sense I am not entirely pleased because it will weaken UKIPs chances. It will also weaken Paul Nuttalls chances in Stoke.

What do the Bremain Labour supporters on GN feel about this?
