He's done his job, so now he's on holiday. Nothing to do with us - couldn't careless what he tells the Americans; some will ignore him, some won't. He'll be back if there's any backsliding on Brexit.

One dictionary's rather casual definition. I'm fully aware of what makes a pressure group, thank you - and running candidates in elections is a perfectly valid tool towards achieving their aims. UKIP has been very successful as a pressure group in using this tactic.

'Us lefties'? - a very interesting concept. What many from the remain campaign still cannot grasp is that massed ranks of 'us lefties', core Labour voters in labour heartlands actually switched to UKIP - just temporarily, we hope - and also voted in large numbers for leave. The Labour Part is...

Fairy nuff. There are plenty of right wing nutters in all sorts of political parties!

No he shouldn't. He was leading a pressure group, not a power-seeking political party. You really need to understand that simple fact. Did the French revolutionaries in 1789 have a ten year economic growth plan and as clear set of targets to be met on an annual basis? No, they didn't. Did the...

That would be the Conservative party, no?

You're missing the difference between a pressure group and a full-scale party. Farage (and hopefully UKIP will realise this once we are out of the EU, and disband) only had one aim; to free the UK from the EU. Not to rule it, or decide on future policy. Might have been a good idea if he had...

Yes, but in spite of all that, "In truth, despite your protestations he will probably go down as one of the most influential political figures in our lifetime". And basically, he left when he was able to turn round and say, "Job done". He'd got us a referendum, and we'd voted 'Out'. That was...

Are you another one of the idiots that think only one side was lying? Most sensible remainers recognise that Project Fear lost them the referendum, with no realistic promotion of their perceived benefits of EU membership. Most sensible leavers recognise that the leave campaign also left much to...

Whichever side of the EU debate people are on, that has probably got to be in the running for the most fatuous comment of 2016 award.

Those grapes tasting a bit sour?

OK, Caroline Lucas if you like. As I said, a very short list. And the short answer to your rather loaded question is 'No'.

So what? If (and not when) a particularly fanatical and intolerant band of lobbyists get their way, EU membership or not, possession of 200 fags will mean a six month sentence and a hefty fine under laws relating to newly designated class A drugs. The French, the Italians and the Spanish will...

Farage. Love him or loathe him, he does 'just what it says on the tin'. Please feel free to list any of the slime balls at Westminster who can honestly put that on their CV. Short list, perhaps?
