So thought May, once.

Farage is picking away at Johnson's fundament. I do not know about the numerical ratio between no-deal- and Johnson-deal Brexiteers. If the firts come in higher numbers than expected and prevent johnosn th ewanted majority, the Johnson express could still derail while already entering the central station.

I think the election result is too hard to call/predict Sky. Most people make their predictions biased by their preferences but one thing is certain, we'll all know the result in the early hours of December thirteen.

I did not mean to "predict" an outcome, but to point out how uncertain things are: and that it could backfire indeed, that uncertain it maybe is. I find it hard to "preict" what impact Farage will have. The more votes he gets, the bigger Johnson's problem will become. Unfortunately he knows that. And it was not difficult to know in the first.

Whilst Brexit did well in the EU elections that is no indication of a similar result in the UK.

UKIP are a good example of the above.

I hope Trump haven't destroyed any hope for a pro- Brexit party to win the election.

Heard on the news that Trump had, so to say, stepped into your ongoing election campaign

And Boris got furious

Seems Mr. Trump have no sense of understanding an another countries election and when to shut up and wait

Most likely not. Its more about whether Johnson cna get a majpority sufficient to get his deal through, or whether Farrage ruins this, becasue farrage wants "no deal". If Farrage steals enigh votes form Johnson, then parliament once again ends in a deadlock. And this all starts from the starting line again.

John Bercow is demanding an apology from the Daily Mirror over claims he asked for £1m to appear on "I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!"

The outgoing Commons Speaker has accused the paper of "publishing lies despite being advised of the truth" and has complained to the press watchdog.

The Mirror claimed talks between Mr Bercow and ITV broke down over the size of his appearance fee.

It said it stood by its story, which was based on "authoritative sources".

However, the newspaper also said it was "happy to accept" that Mr Bercow had "no serious desire to appear" on the programme.

Mr Bercow, who retired on Thursday after 10 years in the Speaker's chair, is understood to be furious about the story.

I think we're going to see a lot more about him in the press in the coming months.

Labour is promising to make all new-build homes "zero carbon" within three years, in an effort to curb housing shortages and tackle climate change.

A Labour government would introduce a "tough" standards for new builds which would see homes fitted with solar panels and not having gas boilers.

I can understand that after having been on that show for one decade now he has no desire to extend this contract.

I've heard he is going to follow what Blair did and tour the world giving talks and speeches.

Looks like he wants some help writing his manifesto
