Though I can see that might not be a great look for a potential leader of a serious (titter) party.

The political organization of Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe, an influential Democrat with longstanding ties to Bill and Hillary Clinton, gave nearly $500,000 to the election campaign of the wife of an official at the Federal Bureau of Investigation who later helped oversee the investigation into Mrs. Clinton’s email use.
In my not-very-well-informed opinion, a second runway at birmingham and linking HS2 into heathrow would solve the capacity problem.
Treat BHX, LHR and MAN as an integrated airport with HS2 providing airside transfers.
If I had a vote I'd probably go with Johnson, but I'd vote for the brash but ultimately benign Trump over the candidate that epitomises everything wrong with politics in the USA.
I'm not a Sturgeon fan especially (I think she's competent but also has a vested interest in discord), but that tweet's rancid.
Edited extra bit: and the toys you get at the end of the main campaign are fantastic.
So New York to Dubai would be something like JFK-LHR, get a train to Birmingham, BHX -Dub! Luggage lost in Milton Keynes I suppose. The whole point of hubs and why airlines and passengers like them is that you walk off the jetway, collapse into Starbucks, chill for a 30 mins or an hour and then walk down another jetway for your connecting flight, reasonably confident that the ground crew has moved your luggage from one plane to another one round the corner.

Ridicule, wtf on pb & elsewhere, leading to a fine. What a great PR disaster.
The final choice is likely to be between Nuttall and Evens with the former edging it, imho.
What next? There is no overarching target in sight. Could a series of smaller issues build into a cogent political philosophy, distinct from the other parties? The LDs still survive, so it is definitely possible.
The good news is that if Trump loses there's a new 'Il Duce' for Jenny Freeman Plato and Moniker de Canio to adulate.
* pink bus was also subject to this investigation I believe.

As electoral PR disasters go, the Ed Stone was worth its weight in gold.

Mr. B2, indeed. However, I wonder how many UKIP members will have let their subscriptions slip after the EU referendum vote. That will alter the electorate.
So we will be out of both the Customs Union and the Single Market.

Mike Pence to campaign in Utah tomorrow in an attempt to shore up Trump's position against a two pronged attack from Clinton and McMillin :

"“ We’re an open country and we are in favour of free trade, and we want to see a solution that is as beneficial as possible for everybody,” said Magdalena Andersson, the Swedish finance minister."
"The olive branch from Stockholm reflects the shared view of the Nordic bloc that there is nothing to be gained from a fractious divorce between Britain and the EU. "
"There are over 1,000 Swedish companies operating in Britain, employing 100,000 people, from Saab, Scania, and Electrolux, to Skype and Ericsson, to Ikea and H&M. “They’re worried about potential trade barriers and tariffs, and about the Swedish personnel,” said Ms Andersson.
“A weak British pound affects Swedish exports companies, and that could of course affect the Swedish economy,” she said. Britain is the country’s third biggest foreign market."
A decentralised hybrid hub/point-to-point airport with very elastic capacity, huge redundancy and serving a much larger population is the way forward.
Airside transfers between LHR/BHX or BHX/MAN on HS2 would take half an hour.
The logistics aren't crazy at all.
A PR man (or woman) will be keeping his (or her) head down today or quietly removing mention of the Edstone from a CV.
It was a fine example of monumental PR mistake, a cunning political stunt which backfired.

Probably the most important fact when it comes to gender and alcohol consumption. One also ignored by the bullshit advice advocated (I think) by the chief medical and puritanism officer who wants equal legal drinking guidelines for the genders.
Clinton 45.0 .. Trump 44.1

The question is: McMullin is close to evens on betfair, do I lay off my bet or let it ride?
Is only a tenner, it is going all the way to the finish line.
As an aside, if a plane gong to say (Heathrow) gets diverted to Birmingham, how do passengers that were only transiting get to Heathrow if they don't have a visa to enter the country? Is it up to the airline to fly them there? Or is there some form of transit visa system?
You can probably tell I don't fly very often ...
They could try and morph into a centrist anti-immigration, secularist, patriotic national party and play for the same Blue Labour votes that May appears to be tacking towards and on a good day get 10-15% of the vote, more if May s*rews the poo*ch on BrExit. Or they could drift to a more solidly centre-right anti-immigration, secularist, patriotic national party and steel right wing Tories that get annoyed when May fails to deliver much of anything and sit maybe around 10%, or go full on Hannan/Carswell libertarian free-traders if they are happy to be effectively a pressure group with a 5% vote and become effectively the backing vocals for Carswell.
What they can't reasonably do is try and be all three at once, which appears to be the current, for want of a better word, policy.
Today, Torsten Bell will be mainly keeping his phone off the hook.

Kassam is a poor man's Trump, so I expect it to be Nuttal, although I think his price is far too short.
But the wildcard here is the EU parliament, which likes to do its own thing. If I were a British diplomat, I wouldn't be ignoring it.
Witness the way Maglev still hasn't fulfilled its promise - and is in fact in decline as a technology - after forty years.
People hanging their coat on Hyperloop are just wanting nothing to be done now - it's a delaying tactic.

As the latter is spending hundreds-of-millions in expansion - by 2020 the ability to support 20000000 pax - I wonder why maxPB is so keen to close it! Us Kentish folk find it one of the easiest to reach.
I'd take some profit on the bet and let the rest run for fun.
BTW .... I know you've an interest in Texas too. There is a big Univision bi-lingual poll of the state out later this week
Wise of you to keep your storied ARSE off the line in these strange times.
Musk will probably have one up and running on Mars before the spades are in the ground at LHR, mind.
Keep your bigotry in your own backyard!
You are of course quite correct about the "silent majority" - College educated whites, minorities and women sending Donald into the world of Trump TV.
