I expect the majority of UKIP supporters will slowly drift back to their party of choice, as the UK progresses towards EU exit. Unless Nuttall can perform a miracle, by 2020 his party will have all but disappeared.

Depending on what BrExit actually turns out to mean when the rubber hits the road. If its EEA/EFTA and full-movement-in-all-but-name (ie. a job offer) then UKIP will be back in business with a vengeance.
"A German court has upheld its ban on a satirical poem that mocks Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. The Hamburg court said that it stands by its order, issued last May, which prohibited republication of parts of a poem by German comic Jan Boehmermann. The satirist, who is barred for repeating the majority of the verses, says he will appeal the verdict."
Surely the problem is the law rather than the Court?
The law bans insulting foreign heads of State as I recall, and goes back decades. A repeal would be very timely to get ready for the visit of the Donald!
Noises! She is a nice lady and telegenic but has no experience. This rumour appears to be the product of the overactive sense of humour of a Labour insider. Perhaps @NickPalmer could shed some light on this?
No, I'm not sufficiently in touch with much of the current PLP to comment on views of individuals, and anyway I try to avoid doing that. The general PLP mood at the moment, I gather, is to feel to things are grim, but that Corbyn made the necessary call on A50 and has improved at PMQs. So although most MPs would very much prefer to have a clear vote-winner, they aren't now quite in the Anyone But Corbyn mood that many were a year ago, and will wait for after 2020 or until a clearly stronger candidate whom the members might accept emerges. They'll be interested to see how RLB gets on, no more than that for now.

I think they had Trump 7% ahead in their last Iowa Poll. He won it by 9%.

Very improper.
