Oh no they are now dragging it out in court!

This farcical has really become a crass joke which so far has no ending.

But, you know, the wrapper should never be confused with the contents, or substance. Wait and see.

I agree. Must say I envy the UK's system, having PMQ. Even though the President is an executive and not part of congress as PM is an MP, do wish we could modify our system where President was forced to take questions from the house each week. To me, this drops the buffer and free spin the media offers, to a degree.

Pensioners: The remaining majority of those who can be bothered to vote these days.

That would possibly be and I repeat the word 'possibly' be the only way Labour would get within sniffing distance of government.

UKIP leadership hopeful Steven Woolfe has been ruled "ineligible" to stand in the contest to replace Nigel Farage.

Sounds like its his own fault not getting his bid in on time. Another case of sour grapes in UKIP.
