      Interestingly Farage said "The Tory Party is UKIP", some say this is a precursor to him joining he Tories.

          would that be an entirely bad thing, he gets stuff done and is not big on U-Turns. Imagine a Conservative party in charge of our EU relationship, reduced immigration and better business.

            U-turns, which can also be described as rethinking strategy based on new information, are a mature approach to government rather than the dogmatic face-saving intransigence we've been used to for so many years. I respect politicians who have the guts to say "Maybe this isn't right and we should consider another option".

            As for getting stuff done - yes, by lots of manipulation and outright lies, he managed to stir up enough bulls*** to persuade UK citizens to vote to leave the EU, often without really researching or understanding why, or what the likely outcome might be (this is purely anecdotal based on almost everyone I know who voted to leave). So in that respect he has the ideal profile for a Conservative MP.

              Farage will not dare to go near a fisherman after his disgraceful lies to them.

                That's not what I wrote.

                They are clearly having a love-in.

                I hope it isn't like John Mayor and Edwina Currie, etc.

                  You've been reading the wrong papers, I think... Everything's rosy according to some. There's one who thinks the Tories will walk the next election. The reality is probably somewhere in the middle.

                  But let's at least be clear, Starmer changes his mind every 20 seconds or so depending on who he's talking to, so the current mob are not a good example of U-Turns (more a case of they say something then don't deliver it). And Labour's constant refrain of "the Tories have crashed the economy" doesn't stand up to scrutiny for a moment.
                  Blog? What blog...?

                    Which lies? that they would get their quotas back and be able to stop the over fishing?

                    They seem to be truth in this reality.
