Mucho can kicking yet.

Morning, afternoon, or evening?

Will be interesting to see how they extend A50 as European elections will take place in May and they take up their seats a few weeks later.
If A50 is extended beyond May the UK may have to organise quickly European elections. Nigel will be happy as his source of income will be secured

Only if he gets back in.

If it does go all the way to EP elections, the election battle of UKIP vs pro-Remain candidates could be a proxy for a second referendum anyway.

I expect to spend some of 29th March 2019 in a tuck, sometimes referred to as “The Oeuf”. I’ll also be eating fresh Italian pasta and drinking Italian wines and cocktails.

Thanks to PR he'll be perfectly safe (should he choose to stand). He now has a lucrative media career to fall back on, so the MEP salary and generous expense account will be a bonus, and that's assuming he'll stand as a candidate anyway. He's actually left UKIP, in case you weren't paying attention, so the likelihood of him being re-elected as a UKIP MEP is fairly close to zero. There might be a new Party formed, however, which does genuinely think they can organise a pissup in a brewery, so you never know...

I don’t necessarily disagree, however:

These two statements are mutually incompatible.
