I somehow doubt it, UKIP succeeded in what it set out to achieve and that was the referendum. Farage and his Brexit party have picked up the mantle now.

Oh come off it, UKIP is dead and sooner it excepts that the sooner UKIP passes into the history books.

They are a clown party full of clowns..:har:

Queen's fury at her politicians: 'Dismayed' monarch tells aides of her 'disappointment in the current political class' and their 'inability to govern correctly' amid Brexit turmoil.

The Queen has voiced her frustration with today's politicians and their 'inability to govern correctly', it has been claimed.

The 93-year-old monarch remains scrupulously neutral in public but is said to have told aides of her 'disappointment in the current political class'.

She made the comments in 2016 but her feelings have only intensified since then amid endless political turmoil over Brexit, sources told The Sunday Times.

WOW! just WOW! :o

This is unprecedented in modern day times but surely goes to show just what a shambles the political landscape is in these troubled times.

Theresa May is to snub her former Chancellor Philip Hammond by leaving him off her resignation honours list.

The former prime minister is finalising the names on her list, which is expected to see several senior members of her staff elevated to the House of Lords. She is also considering handing honours to some of her closest political allies.

As one of her most senior and longest serving ministers, Mr Hammond – a former foreign secretary and defence secretary – would have been eligible for an honour.

But in a sign of how their relationship soured during her time in office, he is understood to have missed out entirely.

All outgoing PM's usually have the last laugh and slice of that pie they call 'revenge'.

Another day shacking the magic money tree and still no one but us are asking where the heck is all this money coming from Bojo? You would expect this sort of thing from Labour going on a spending spree, alarm bells are going off full blast falling on deaf ears.

Oh by the way I see GP waiting times are in the news oh I wish I could get in in three weeks. Four to five weeks wait around here so Bojo what is the plan to sort this out? Don't tell me shack the magic money tree. :hmmm:

The UK Labour Party deputy leader Tom Watson has spoken out against a second Scottish independence referendum.

It follows comments by shadow chancellor John McDonnell that a future Labour government would not block another vote.

Mr Watson said another referendum "is not the answer" to Tory austerity and Brexit.

He added that he fully endorsed the position of Scottish Labour leader Richard Leonard.

Tory MP accidentally reveals ‘General Election 2019’ email.

A senior Conservative MP has fuelled expectation that Boris Johnson is planning for an autumn general election with an email reading “GE 2019”.

Damian Hinds – the education secretary until last month – accidentally let slip the existence of a “GE team” in the message posted on his Instagram account.

Apparently sent by an aide, the snapshot of the email has a subject line reading: “Re (2): GE 2019 GE team thoughts”.

I think it only a matter of time before further leaks will inform us whether a planned general election will happen before or after 31st October.

My money would be on after.

When PM announces general election day, what happens with the existing Parliament? Does it remain functional until new MPs takeover, or does it dissolve sometime before election day? Just wondering if BoJo could use this to keep dissenting MPs out of the way at and around October 31st. :hmmm:
