Will we will see Nigel Farage’s rumba this parliament?

Will we will see Nigel Farage’s rumba this parliament?

Ladbrokes have some markets on what Nigel Farage may do, a golden rule when it comes to betting is not to get involved in betting markets where the bookie doesn’t offer both sides of the bet. Nigel Farage gas previously appeared on I Am A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here so I can see the attraction of appearing on Strictly so I am tempted to take the 25/1, this may be a winner if Farage appears in a Strictly…

Meanwhile in Northern Britain the SNP are revolting

Meanwhile in Northern Britain the SNP are revolting

Such a rapid turnover in leaders often indicates a much wider malaise If these rebels are successful then the SNP will have had four First Ministers during this Holyrood term which is more Prime Ministers the Tories had during the 2019 to 2024 Westminster Parliament. When you go through this many leaders in this short a period it damages your credibility with the voters. I cannot see any betting markets related to this but I wouldn’t be surprised to see…
