@DPJHodges Potential scenario. Farage obv comes back after by election. Another one triggered due to PSC report, Labour & Lib Dem’s don’t fight it and Boris stands for the Tories, Farage drops out.
@Steven_Swinford Burnham should decline to stand a candidate and offer to give Farage state protection. Makes him look the bigger person whilst also making it a reform v Restore fight Farage would be more likely to lose
@MrHarryCole Burnham should decline to stand a candidate and offer to give Farage state protection. Makes him look the bigger person whilst also making it a reform v Restore fight Farage would be more likely to lose
@DPJHodges Is it possible Farage has instigated this whole thing himself to give himself a way of quitting because he thinks he’ll lose to Burnham/doesn’t want it really & he thinks this will save face?
@piersmorgan Re the gold thing Farage is advertising Burnham has a ready made joke about Farage being the latest politician to sell gold. Niche Cameron era joke
@SamCoatesSky Off subject slightly, I’m really proud of this joke, at his first PMQs given he was chief sec to treasury at one point he should ref Farage and say he’s not the only politician who sold gold now (know it was Brown) before
