As Farage’s “mass” march heads South the ex-UKIP leader has branding problems if there are Euro elections

Do voters know that he’s quit UKIP? Given the Commons votes over the past week then there must be a chance that the UK will participate in the European Parliament elections at the end of May. Farage is now with his new Brexit party which would what would appear on the closed list ballot papers if elections are held.

It wasn’t an April Fool after all: Farage is PaddyPower’s new political advisor

It wasn’t an April Fool after all: Farage is PaddyPower’s new political advisor

Last Thursday the Dublin-based PaddyPower issued a press release embargoed for April 1st announcing that former UKIP leader had become the firm’s political advisor. With minutes it was assumed that this was an April Fool and the story barely got any coverage. Well we were wrong.

Extraordinary. Trump wants Farage to be Britain’s Ambassador to the United States

What does Theresa May do about this? Perhaps the most extraordinary development of Trump’s victory in British terms is the Tweet, from the President-elect, giving his view on who he wants as Britain’s man in Washington. I can’t see this being looked at favourably at Number 10 but it does put the the PM in a quandary. It is vital for so many reasons that Britain has a good relationship with the new administration but having Farage there would be…
