    Farage would never be forgiven if he cost Brexit. I don't know why Boris just doesn't pretend to go with his deal and rips it up after he wins? Hopefully common sense will prevail?

    You're assuming that Farage wants Brexit more than he wants to be on TV...

    I'm not convinced! He'll keep finding some excuse to oppose whatever is put forward to keep giving himself airtime.

    I know Farage likes the limelight but to say he wants/craves that more than Brexit is wide of the mark... although I will admit that drives a hard bargain and sometimes gives the impression that he will never be happy.

    I think he wants power now that he will no longer be an MEP. I think he and his mates like Richard Tice would like to be able to take on Labour in a Leave seat without Tory opposition. They want to sit in Parliament. I think that's what it's about.

    Yeah, could well be that. Either way he certainly gives the impression of putting his own interests ahead of Brexit itself.

    Just had an e-mail from Jeremy Corbyn asking me to help write Labour's manifesto.

    Which was nice.

    I've already sent my suggestions...

    Remain in the EU.
    Increase NHS funding.
    Renationalise railways, utilities and postal service.
    Clamp down on tax evasion.
    UK transaction tax on multinational corporations.
    Abolish zero-hours contracts.
    End roughsleeping.

    What would you add or change?

    I'd add work with Liberal Democrats and other Remain supporting parties to Remain in the EU. Because it looks very unlikely that any political party can achieve that alone.

    Under EU law isn’t it extremely difficult for any socialist government to Renationalise the services that you mention ?
    Which one would you choose Strolls ?
