    The Ifop- Fiducial poll 10-14th May also has her party ahead. Le Pen is obviously running the most popular party in France for the European elections. The eurosceptic parties are doing extremely well right across Europe, hopefully the Macron boy is taking note.

    Oh dear, it is no wonder you didn't wish to give any figures out. 23% -22.5% Massively popular! You have to be kidding.

    Strangely enough I was with a lot of ex-pats this afternoon, and the only one who had admitted voting to leave the EU admitted that he had been a total idiot to believe some of his Tory party fellow members. He has cancelled his party membership and joined the LibDems. No wonder the Tory party is in financial crisis.

    The Tory party has greatly increased party membership recently and has a huge fund ready to fight any election. I suspect the expats are like the local Le Pen supporters and tell you what you want to hear.

    That is not what your party chairman was saying. It was even suggested from within the party that you were having problems paying for the HQ.

    The Tories never have a problem raising sufficient funds especially with lots of new members like myself.

    Dusted off the cheque book again? I think I will believe the Chairman who said the party couldn't afford to fight the EU elections, and seems he wasn't joking.

    There will be plenty of finance available when it matters, most UK citizens regard the European elections as irrelevant and not worth the effort to actually vote given the huge mistrust they have with Brussels.

    I will send an e-mail to Brandon to tell him that he has a member with plenty of money to help him out. I thought the poor man was close to tears as he admitted that donations had dried up.

    There are loads of Tory members with loads of money. They just don't want to back May's faulty deal so will increase the pressure on her to leave by backing the popular Brexit party. When she has gone, replaced by a Brexiteer, the reliable cash sources will once again perform.

    The Tories received more than four times the amount given to Labour in the last three months of 2018, £7.4 compared to £1.6 million. Tell Brandon to look down the sofa, there is plenty stashed away.

    I think you will find that the party spent rather too much on the disaster of the council elections. They are skint and driving the country along the same lines. I also think that the sofa is about to be taken back by the company that is was hired from.
    British Steel blamed “Brexit-related issues” for its difficulties, with one source saying orders from increasingly anxious customers in the European Union had “dried up”. Can we have £75 million please nice government who have got us into this mess? Yes we know that you lent us £120 million a couple of weeks ago, but it wasn't enough. You do realise nice government than in addition to the 4,500 directly employed personal there are another 22,000 employees in the supply chain, and our biggest customer after the EU is network rail. Why haven't you found someone to buy us out? You know it would look good. Well British steel did have private investors with quite a collection of failures, so no one with much sense would get involved with them. So UK government, you know you have plenty of money. Just reign in Grayling and give us the money before he wastes any more.

    BXP: 26% (+26)
    LAB: 22% (-3)
    LDM: 19% (+12)
    CON: 12% (-12)
    GRN: 10% (+2)
    CHUK: 4% (+4%)
    UKIP: 3% (-24)

    The latest poll figures tonight suggest that the Limited Liability Company set up by Farage has seen a sudden drop from the 35% who said a week ago they would support him. Turn that into seats and you get the following.

    BXP: 22 (+22)
    LAB: 16 (-4)
    LDM: 16 (+15)
    CON: 9 (-10)
    GRN: 5 (+2)
    SNP: 2 (=)
    PLC: 1 (=)
    UKIP: 0 (-24)

    That shows that Farage would not hold on to all the previous UKIP seats they won last time.

    On arrival in Spain today I made a point of going through the non EU citizens passport control.

    Farage is a pretty nasty piece of work.. Basically it seems to me he wants to use his profile to wipe out his old party...??
