What a disgrace to his people he is.

What do you mean "his people"?

It's hard to be a disgrace to the tories

So he’s no longer Paul Nuttall of the UKIPs?

[Rex Kramer]

You really can't expect someone who brought down the Nazi regime almost single-handedly to cosy up to that pound shop fascist.

Do they have any ex-leaders left in their party? Farage has buggered off, Nuttall has buggered off, the guy with the racist girlfriend has buggered off. I am sure there are some other ex-leaders but I can’t remember any of them.

Absolute shambles of a party, even worse than the Tories at the moment and yet the Tory and Labour parties keep running scared of them.

Well as every man and his dog has been leader of UKIP over the last couple of years I'm sure there's a bunch of them left.

Quite right to, don’t strawberry float with the Strozzapreti recipe.

[Cuttooth]

It's Pob least for PM.

Basically no-one likes the alternatives to May.

Ian Paisley facing new questions over luxury Maldives holiday

Ian Paisley was given a complimentary holiday at a luxury Maldives resort months after advocating on behalf of its government, according to new evidence.

BBC Spotlight reported the visit was requested by the Maldivian government and facilitated by the resort owner, who had political links.

The programme examined whether the MP should have declared the holiday in 2016.

He said he paid for part of the holiday and the rest was paid for by a friend.

Mr Paisley did not reveal the identity of this friend. He said the friend was unconnected with his work and has received no benefit as a result of his work.

The MP was recently suspended from the House of Commons for 30 days for 'serious misconduct' for failing to declare two family holidays to Sri Lanka in 2013.

I actually didn't realise there was an Ian Paisley serving in parliament. Sounds like there might not be for very much longer.

EDIT: A quick google shows that he has views as, erm, controversial as his dad's on certain subjects.

What a farce.

[Moggy]

What a farce.

What’s funny is you could have written that on any day since 9 June 2017 and it’d have been just as accurate.

[Rex Kramer]

At this point I'd take Denster as Tory party leader. That's the place we're in now.
