Earlier this year, Nigel Farage announced that he wanted to cause a “political earthquake” at next year’s European Elections by winning them?

    Events are closing in on Ed Balls
    The Co-op has launched an internal audit into the behaviour of the Rev Paul Flowers following revelations that he bought drugs and – according to the Sun this morning – used rent boys while on bank business. Will Labour follow suit? Ed Miliband has played down his and the party's links with the Methodist minister.

More awkward is the revelation that the Reverend arranged a £50,000 donation to Ed Balls' office last year. Mr Flowers was suspended from his membership of the Labour party yesterday while the police investigate his activities.
