I'm quite interested to see this development. I'm normally centrist so am pleased to see any move that might stop the right going more right or the...

I might have to trawl back on here but suspect five weeks might be nearer the truth Geoff for me too

Five weeks for me!

Agree 100%, they are the same as the Brexiteers, who are afraid to ask the people is this really the type of Brexit you voted for, are you sure you...

Normally the MP doesn't call a by election when they switch. Carswell and Reckless did when they went to UKIP. But there are some special...

I was thinking the same AK

Yes, a 2-mile sprint up and down some impossibly steep jumble of scree and tussocks would be ideal for triggering a "cardiac event".

Personally DT i don't think any thread requires closing.

So: UKIP is now filling the (small) void left by the disappearance of the BNP. The ERG want the Conservatives to fill the void left by UKIP. And...

But not self-less and brave enough to let those who voted for them have their say.

As an aside I guess everyone is okay with me closing down all the other dull political threads on here? They’ve kind of run their time haven’t they...

More like Summer round here

I agree to an extent re by-elections but think the eleven have made self-less and brave decisions to walk away from their parties stating why they’ve...

I agree. The 11 MP's who have left their party's so far come across as sensible people when they speak but the reality is that they are snakes in...

Suppose it all depends on if a no-deal brexit happens. If it does they could well get enough defections to create the necessary critical mass of MPs...

Local Worth valley dippers paired up now and I saw a magpie yesterday carrying nesting material Three weeks till the chiffs arrive?

I’m not sure anyone saw UKIP as a ‘normal’ political party did they?

Pity you live in Wales and not the Dales Wheeze. The BOFRA series would be perfect for your new found fun.

Your both correct in the fact that we had the referendum and Farge was instrumental in that but as a party I'm not overly impressed.

I’m really excited. I’ve been fascinated with politics since I was a wee lad Saying Farge (sic) tried but amounted to nothing is interesting. You...

I'm not sure how Farage amounted to nothing. They were the largest party in the 2014 European Elections and arguably there wouldn't have been a...

Walking in a winter wonderland

Sounds hard. I've never done the whole route. I've done the Glamaig horseshoe which is great but probably too short for you, only 2h30. My friend did...

If by 'normal path' you mean the 3P contoured walkers path, distance wise it adds about 2 miles by adding a huge extended loop but it is all...

Hopefully it goosed the grey! I squeaked up a Red kite today whilst working in a garden on the edge of moorland high above Appletreewick - it...

That will be the day

Everyone lived together in peace
