Nuttal was the final step a closet brained English Nationalist
I was right there with you until you suggested that Nuttall possesses a brain. That's the thirteenth stroke of the crazy clock, that is. Breadvan72 said:

As for Drunker liking lunch, and, indeed, dinner too, we could maybe learn a lot from liking lunch and dinner a bit more. Anyway, Juncker does not matter all that much. Merkel does. May, reaching the limit of her fairly mediocre ability range, now has to negotiate against one of the best politicians on the planet, and in Vegas high-stakes poker terms, May has high card three, with nothing on the table after the flop. May has to bet all the way to the river card, and then go all in. I don't know that Theresa May is that good a poker player. Maybe she is. Maybe not.

Nuttall reminds me of an antiques dealer whom I met not very long ago. The guy tried but failed to sell me an overpriced Arts and Crafts table, allegedly by Liberty of London, probably some cheap tat. The dude told me that in his previous life he had invented the Simpsons and the Power Rangers, left his big job at Disney on an issue of principle, and been engaged to Angie Bowie. He said that his best client was the Viscountess Something or other. I did a colleague (who collects Arts and Crafts era stuff and whom I like to tease) an evil turn by suggesting that Mr Fantabulous hit on her.

Farage is a huge liar, but a good one, and he lies not only about himself, but also about important stuff. He has the sound technique of repeating the same massive lies over and over and over again. No amount of fact checking or debunking can stand against this technique.

There is no way of the EU inflicting damage on the UK without suffering itself. There is very possibly no way of achieving Brexit without weakening, to an extent, both the EU and the UK.In other news: Fly on the wall reportage from that recent meeting of the 27 -

However, either party deliberately trying to 'out one over' on the other is ludicrous and dangerous. Negotiations need to be rigorous and will not always go smoothly, but commencing from a standpoint of beggar-thy-neighbour is dumb. Not saying it won't happen though.

Yes UKIP is stuffed and haven't helped themselves.
Having said that there is definitely room and opportunity for a centrist "none of the above / usual suspects" type party.
Suspect Blair thinks he could get one going, but the deluded oik doesn't realise just how much the public regard him as a poisonous git. Lib Dems might think, when they've had too many sherbets, that they're another, but again too many bridges burnt, so equally deluded.
I've always viewed them as a means to an end, I've tactically voted for them in the past but I wouldn't dream of it once they delivered the referendum. Having said that there is definitely room and opportunity for a centrist "none of the above / usual suspects" type party.

Job done, let the Tories take us out of the EU now with a strong majority...

"We've already done our 30 minutes on Brexit this week".
THE EU need not seek to inflict damage on the UK. The EU can simply watch while the UK takes careful aim at its own feet and gives them both barrels.
The EU doesn't need to play mega hard ball and perhaps CBA to do so. It can just sit there and say, no deal. The leaks about "Le Diner de Cons" were simply Merkel getting her explanation in early for the German voters. The countries that will feel the most pain from Brexit are Britain, Ireland, and Germany, and German voters may be miffed by the stuff that hits them. Merkel has to say in advance "Don't blame me, these are the sort of idiots I was dealing with".
