The former leader of UKIP, which has its HQ in Newton Abbot, Nigel Farage, has predicted the future of politics.
He exclusively told the Western Morning News: “I don’t think Tory high command will like to see me on the backbenches, mingling with some of their number. That’s not a sight they’d want.”
Eeugh, it’s not a sight anyone would want.
The damp squib of an ‘exclusive’ tells us that Farage will stand against speaker John Berkow in the next General Election (we know); that the Irish referendum came out in favour of a the Lisbon treaty (we know); and that once in the House of Commons, Nigel will canvass for a referendum on membership to the EU (like duh).
“If I get into Parliament,” said the stary-eyed Farage, “what I will try to do is get together with MPs from the Conservatives and… there will be Labour people I would talk to.”
How magnanimous.
The South West has two MEPs who sit in the European of Freedom and Democracy Group: Trevor Colman and William (the Earl of) Dartmouth.
Come and enjoy Devon – book a hotel and get away!
