Gah, realising quite how far behind I am on the madness of the news at the moment.
But just wanted to thank Duncin for this article - really interesting and some of what I had missed into context. It's analysis of the Conservative/Badenoch position is particularly helpful - makes Philp etc look all the more ridiculous.
But Bush's commentary on Farage also caught my attention. Have to admit that I couldn't remember why Farage left UKIP, I assumed it had outlived its usefulness to him. But a quick google shows that Farage left when Gerald Batten appointed SYL as an advisor. So fair play, as Bush says Farage has been consistent and knows his base well enough.
