Apparently he's a 'Grime artiste', AKA a pop singer of some kind. There does seem to be a running theme of having random 'celebrities' on to trot out their hobbyhorse on TW; mostly they end up looking stupid and out of place like this fat lump.

Never heard of him, and could barely understand a word he said. Twitter was aflame with his fans though, as he kept it real. Apparently he quipped/mumbled, in relation to how out of touch people are, with real people, "you've never banged an electric meter in your life".

And he's right. In so far as I haven't... "banged a meter".

Is Miller actually spending her own money on these court cases or is she just a front for more powerful EU-Philes who wish to remain behind the scenes - I think it's the latter. She can't even defend her cause properly, what an embarrassment.

Miller is just a front, she hasn't spent a penny of her own money, but relishes the limelight.

Spot on.

Her earlier mysterious backers are keeping quiet until they see if she has raised enough from the mug public. She's a 'fall guy'.
Nice to see A.N. ridicule her.

I also liked the way Mr Neil cut her down about her being attacked on social media I cant find the spot on the clip. Effectively he just tells her he gets it as well and its part and parcel of being high profile on social media

I actually thought he misinterpreted what she was saying on that.

It sounded to me as if she was saying 'people have contacted me to say they feel unwelcome' where AN thought she was saying 'people have been contacting me to make me feel unwelcome'.

Other than that I'm glad he skewered her on her disingenuous claims of being all about transparency and not having a pro EU agenda.

Aaron Banks was on the SP today, Brillo was a bit of a dick to him at the start, and kept getting it wrong, then changed tack slightly as Banks wasn't ruffled in the slightest. Interesting exchange.

Stephen Gethins is TV screen smashing material.

I like how Camilla is described as a journalist; it may be her main source of income but she was a tory peer and an advisor to David Cameron, then resigned the party whip to become a crossbench peer before christmas. I like her work, she writes a lot about the NHS and is pretty pragmatic.

This week's drinking game will be based around the phrase "You'll have to wait for the manifesto"

Give 'em time they'll think it worthwhile having candidates nationwide soon...
