The Brexit Party thread. All brexit party discussion here please.

[Top Cats Hat]

Boris Johnson is already seen as a clown in Brussels and by going after the Brexit Party vote he will be associated with the clown car that is Farage and Widdecombe. (and Farage should have binned off Widdecombe if he had any sense as she is high enough profile to attract attention to anything crazy that she says.)

After embarrassing themselves at the opening of the European Parliament, darling of the Brexit Party Anne Widdecombe, has gone one step further by likening Brexit to the emancipation of slaves.

 

I reckon Farage will be trying to keep her under wraps from now on, as any bonkers comments she makes will be used against them if they stand in future elections.

No chance.

 

This is all synchronised PR, orchestrated by Bannon and channelled in the UK/EU, by Farage through his Brexit Party vehicle, and Johnson through the Conservatives' leadership race.

 

Expect much more of this in the days, weeks and months to come.

Ann Widdecombe is only staying with the Brexit Party until Brexit is implemented so will not be standing in future elections even if the Brexit Party continue afterwards.   I would imagine Farage considers  Ann Widdecombe an asset and most definitely not a liability.  The Brexit Party are not in the European Parliament until 31st October to give the EU an easy time and heap praises on their organisation.

She's like a frothing mad women.  How she could be an asset I don't know.  She makes the brexit party look even more ridiculous than normal.

I remember a feature piece on her a few years ago on the radio. She made some outrageous racist comment and instead of apologising she just said “Oh I suppose that’s a bit  ‘old fashioned’ now” in a mildly irritated tone, not unlike some of the ‘free speech’ posters on here lamenting the ‘good old days’ when you didn’t have to hide your racism.

 

It is interesting that we are constantly reminded that Brexit supporters aren’t racist yet at the same time told that an openly racist and homophobic person will be an asset to the Brexit Party.

A clean living ex Tory Shadow Home Secretary MP would be an asset to any new political party.  Ann Widdecombe's stock is certainly higher  than Neil Hamilton who switched to UKIP and Chuka  Umunna whose latest switch is to the Lib Dems.

As a Brexiteer I think old Chuka's stock has dropped well below zero.  Only the desperate LibDems would entertain him.

I agree, it seems they are just there to make complete plonkers of themselves.
