    Witton you mention UKIP missing out (and I agree) but is Farage’s new mob (sorry party) only focussing on European elections?

    Nice to see Tommy what’s his Nazi face getting a double Phantom Flanflingering 🍦

    The Brexit Party didn't stand at these locals.

    They will only stand in the Euros in 3 weeks if they go ahead.

    Subject to what happens, they will stand in a future General Election.

    It's seems clear to me that very little is clear.

    The protests are localised with the two parties getting kicked in the short and curlies in differing ways.

    I expect May and Corbyn will want to avoid the EU elections, but cobbling together a BRINO fudge will alienate Leavers and Remainers.

    Interesting times, even for fell runners

    You know that farage plans to contest onansanyas vacated seat? That should be interesting! I suspect farga will split the tory vote, allowing labour an easy win.

    Tough to call as you could have a 4 way marginal between Tory, Labour, LibDem and Brexit.

    A lot will depend on whether May and Corbyn agree a fudge.

    Yes. Doubled since then.
    Both May and Corbyn are now in a position their voters hate them! Labour are unusual that most of the PLP hate Corbyn too. Both parties would do better under any other leader. But since Corbyn is literally immovable, Tory stands better chance of recovering. Doesn't alter the fact that no opposition hoping for power should ever lose seats in locals. Tony Robinson said it all on twitter.
