But then you are wrong on that as well. The term 'champagne socialist' isn't predominantly about wealth, it's about lifestyle - the champagne bit. If you know anything about Corbyn you'd know he is famously austere and even the piece I quoted from the mail makes much of him eating cold beans from a can and refusing to go to restaurants during his 1st marriage.

Ok then, a hero he is

What's that well known phrase. Def change horses midstream, what could go wrong. Think that's it anyway.

Former Labour MP tells voters to back Boris Johnson

Gisela Stuart, the former Labour MP who was also a chair of the official Leave campaign, has told talkRADIO she is still a Labour member – despite urging people to vote for the Tories at this election.

Many have suggested she won’t be member much longer.

Anyway, what's Galloway's tipple?

Allegedly, M'lud.

Pressure mounts on Farage to stand down most of his candidates.

It comes as Nigel Farage is pressured to pull Brexit Party candidates by Tory Brexiteers and former allies, with the Leave.EU campaign group threatening to release a tactical voting app showing Leave voters that they should back the Tories in most parts of the country.

Nigel dubbed 'the Frodo Baggins of Brexit' as Tories fearing election disaster urge him to drop candidates - follow live

so what/who is the sauron in this situation, corbyn or no deal?

sauron is putin, corbyn is one of the ring wraiths

Fortunately despite his claims to the contrary, Farage cares more for his ego than he ever did about Brexit
Go for it Nige runs up another 600 loonies and run them

You surely don't think that he doesn't care about leaving the EU? Really? I suppose by extension then most leave voters don't either.

 

[Dogsauce]

Left wing twitter types hunting out Brexit Party loonies aren’t really thinking strategically. Splitting the right vote is helpful.

Tories are the threat and need more of a light shining on all their assorted loonies and racists, not that this stuff has a great deal of traction anyway.

 

[cupid_stunt]

Farage dropped his demand for a no-deal Brexit, and compromised by calling for changes to the political declaration, to rule out an extension of the transition period beyond 2020, or a future trade deal that has "regulatory alignment" with the EU.

Looks like Johnson has agreed. It looks like the backroom talks between the Tories & the BP may well have paid off, be interesting to hear what Farage has to say at his planned press conference today.

Boris Johnson has ruled out extending the transition period for Brexit beyond 2020. In a move likely to be interpreted as being aimed at Brexit Party voters, the Prime Minister said Britain would aim for a free trade agreement ‘on the model of a super Canada-plus arrangement’.

Nigel Farage’s Brexit Party are set to stand candidates backing a rapid ‘clean-break Brexit’ in around 600 seats, which could eat into the Conservative vote. Now Mr Johnson appears to be targeting those candidates and undecided voters, after previously rejecting a ‘Leave Alliance’ with Mr Farage, backed by USA President Donald Trump.

He does but it is secondary to his love of the limelight and having his ego fluffed up

 

[Kaka Tim]

not optimistic. looks like tories could keep most of their 2017 vote share - whilst labour has lost out to lib dems and brexit party. However lib dem "revival" look decidedly stalled. Need to hope tactical voting and localised campaigning prevent Johnson cunt getting a majority.

But your point does deserve a more nuanced response than a discussion of Farages failings
There are plenty of Leave voters who want to leave for whatever reason but a great many I think voted Leave out of dissatisfaction with the status quo rather than a specific objection to an EU policy.
These are sadly the people who are going to lose out the most after we do leave

This is such a banal and shallow - and wrong - reading of Farage's political motivations.
