Diane James has decided to quit her role as UKIP leader even more strongly by quitting the entire party.

Organised chaos would be a polite descriptive term for what UKIP are demonstrating atm.

Speaking at the CBI conference, Mrs May promised early agreement on the status of UK nationals in Europe and EU nationals in the UK.

And a whole lot more besides.

Most definitely.

Apart from the raising of the National Minimum Wage from £7.20 to £7.5 next April I thought the autumn statement was pretty much a 'non-event'.

Thomas Mair has been jailed for life (a wqhole life term) after being found guilty of the murder of Labour MP Jo Cox.

Tis a crying shame the death penalty isn't available for such crimes when the guilt of someone is beyond any and all doubt.

Missed it, got better things to do that watch that waffle. Always takes a few more days for the experts to crunch the numbers.

Scum like that should be strung up but as we have no capital punishment I hope he rots in prison.

On a lighter note about Trumps tweet about Farage, the amount of *jerks* getting hot under the coller about nothing clearly need to lay off the strong coffee for a while.

ROFL, just saw this comment on twitter:

"How many drafts into the Castro statement do you think the Labour press office are?"

MGR1 · 11-26-16, 07:56 AM

I wouldn't laugh too much.

The Unite branch office in Aberdeen had/has a large Cuban flag in it's main meeting room. I wonder if they're thinking of putting it at "half-mast" or something similar.

Shouldn't have a crown on it though, most "real" lefties tend to be republicans.

A Cromwellian harp might have been better.
