He was responding to a UKIP woman and said that UKIP are like the best of a bad bunch and it's like when you see four really ugly girls.

Mainly, things ended up that way because none of the members states wanted to compromise their sovereignty by allowing an external elected body to drafted and vote on legislation that they would then have to adhere to, so they preferred a model more dependent on diplomats and bureaucrats working on the behalf of national governments. Of course, this is an instance of governments protecting their own power and not necessarily the power of their electorates...

Helmer, who defected from the Conservatives two years ago and is now a Ukip Euro MP, doesn’t actually scoff when I suggest immigration has had benefits too, but his five-word reply, ‘I like Indian restaurants too’, speaks for itself.

He insists he is ‘fairly relaxed’ about gays, but maintains homophobia does not exist and accuses ‘strident’ gay rights groups of using it for political ends.

Helmer says the NHS should be allowed to spend money on helping homosexuals become straight. He says it is no different to NHS sex-change operations and, bizarrely, compares it to homeopathy.

What about straight people who want to become homosexual? Would they be offered NHS treatment for their 'condition'?

The European Commission has called on the UK to raise taxes on higher value properties, build more houses and adjust the Help to Buy scheme.

The commission said council tax bands should be revalued, which would put up bills for some people.

Each year the commission offers member states advice intended to help ensure long-term growth.

The Treasury said that as one of the fastest growing economies, would listen to the commission with interest.


....

On housing, the commission urged ministers to "deploy appropriate measures to respond to the rapid increases in property prices in areas that account for a substantial share of economic growth in the United Kingdom, particularly London".

The three-year Help to Buy mortgage guarantee scheme, announced in the 2013 Budget, is designed to make it easier for people to get on the housing market.

Some housing experts have expressed concerns the scheme has contributed to double-digit prices rises seen in London and other property hotspots over the past year, pushing properties further out of the reach of first-time buyers.
