Meanwhile in UKIP land..

Quote:

A leading UKIP politician has quit the party saying its leader Henry Bolton is "not the right person for the job" and its influence over Brexit is waning.

Big deal, another B'stard who thinks he has the right to walk over the voters who voted for him by staying on as an Independent. I don't give a toss what party these people represent, if you disagree with the party by leaving you should step down outright from the position you hold.

There should be a election, once again these politicians crave power and money without a care to the voters.

Repeated bail-outs to help the NHS cope with pressure on services and finances could become the "new normal", the National Audit Office has said.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-42718510

Here is a good idea, count every penny spent and where it was spent. As I said before way back in the 1990's I worked in the NHS and clearly saw money being diverted to management so they can purchase a new expensive car every year. Fair enough to say I do not know what it is like now but I bet money is going into areas it should not.

DEAD MAN WALKING

Henry Bolten the party is over for you.

UKIP leader Henry Bolton has been hit by resignations from his front bench team as pressure mounts on him to quit.

Assistant deputy leader Mike Hookem joined trade and industry spokesman William Dartmouth, deputy leader Margot Parker and immigration spokesman John Bickley in resigning.

Mr Hookem said: "The story has become about the leader's personal life."

Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson has been warned of a "substantial" revolt by Tory MPs in the event of more cuts to army numbers and naval capability.

Ex-minister James Gray urged ministers not to use a security review next year as "camouflage" for a cut in manpower.

Some Tory MPs have spoken out to warn the UK is at a defence crossroads.

In his first Commons outing since he took the job, Mr Williamson said he was "in awe" of British troops and would do everything he could to support them.

It should be stopped if the country states thanks for your help but we are all right now as India said some years ago. And yet we still give them money.

I hear 12 have now resigned in UKIP! The rats are leaving the sinking ship as HMS Henry the people love me and I will not accept the truth Bolton slowly sinks to the murky bottom of the sea.

Henry Bolton has insisted he will not quit as UKIP leader, saying it is "time to drain the swamp" of malcontents within the party.

Tune into LBC 7pm as Nigel talks to or about Henry. This should be interesting or dull, beer on stand by.
