William Hill have a market up on whether Paul Nuttall will still be UKIP leader at the end of 2017, to be honest neither of the odds seem attractive to me.

F1: it's raining but not pouring, looks like a wet/dry race. 45 mins until the start.
Or at least, that's what I'm told his new CV will say.
Nuttall will remain the UKIP leader well beyond 2017 and long after everyone else has left it...
Still, job done and they continue to rattle plenty of cages on here, so its been a blast.
The only impediment being that as Duke of Stoke, Nuttall is booked for several engagements with the Potteries Potty Pre-eminent Political Potentates and as Life President his grace is determined to swell the membership above one.
It may have a future as a slighly more acceptable BNP style party.
So sad. A once great party reduced to this as their raison d'etre.
Oh, and greetings from sunny Sydney.

It might be said of foreign affairs, especially involving military intervention, that forensic scrutiny and scepticism from the opposition is no bad thing. Government backers will roar opportunism, the more cautious will reserve judgement.
I am less convinced by Farrons support for Trump's "Wag the Dog" conversion to bombing Assad. America is now bombing both sides in the Syrian Civil War, with no plan as to what to do next.
Credit where it is due, Nuttall has condemned the bombing, alongside Jezza and the Green Party.
But calling the Foreign Secretary a "poodle of Washington" is just bizarre. From what I can tell, we're coordinating our response to the chemical attack with the Americans which seems sensible. Perhaps it shows that being Foreign Secretary isn't that big a deal these days, but I'd have thought the Lib Dems would be happy about that.
Exhibit one: BoJo as Foreign Secretary pulling out of meetings in Moscow. This is very much the time to open communications with Russia, not cut them off. If anyone can put pressure on Assad, it is Putin.
Woof woof whiff whaff .....
Chemical weapons are appalling, but there is more than a whiff of hypocrisy from our government that sees killing civilians in Syria as a war crime, but bombing starving civilians in Yemen as a sales opportunity.
It suits you to paint the Tories as right wing, even if its untrue, Mrs May is centreist.
The Tories have power for the next 10 years. Being Tories they will move ever rightwards. That will open the way for a new centrist party, that is likely to be called the Liberal Democrats, to challenge for power in 2025.
Clearly the May elections will give us a broader appreciation from a much larger pool of voters.
Which puts more pressure on Putin?
I wouldn't vote Conservative but nobody is offering an effective alternative.
I suggested a couple of days ago that if we want to show the Russians that we're really angry with them, we should boycott the 2018 World Cup.
I take back what I said about May, if what this poster has said is true she seems ideal. However it isn't true so I won't be supporting her.

But Paul Nuttall wins the Chinese Grand Prix ....
What an effort after taking the Grand National yesterday and tonight going into the final round of the US Masters ten shots up .....
Simply unbelievable .....

I would agree that re-entry as policy at the next election would bre a mistake, but a policy of joining the EEA is really quite sensible.
Apart from anything else, I don't think that the EU would let us rejoinn for at least another generation.
It was only ever a means to an end.
Tim Farron is doing very well indeed for the Lib Dems, thank you very much. It`s just posters operating on behalf of the Tory black ops propaganda machine that do not like him.
F1: interesting race, not quite the classic it might have been due to an early twist of fate. Will set about writing the post-race ramble now.
Although the JAM stuff is a viable political strategy, I think she's too weak to pull it off.
Those voters will swing straight back to labour once they're led by someone who isn't corbyn.
His attempt to become Tory leader failed, Mayor of London is about his level.
Subsequent events then favoured Labour, whereas now they've favoured the Conservatives.
Labour were very unlucky to lose Ed Balls. Had he become leader, I'm sure Labour would have the standard mid-term lead that an Opposition ought to have.
