31/01/2020 I believe.

Technically they could insist on serving the full term - I would chuckle if the Brexit party MEPs take the EU to the European Courts to keep their jobs

"But it is now unclear how he plans to proceed after laying off most of the staff hired before the election. One source told i: “Straight after the election we were all told we had to look for other jobs."

Suspect it's the end for them now

Given that they failed to make any impact on the GE, and given that Boris looks set on accelerating the Brexit process, there seems even less reason now for the Brexit Party to exit, so it seems reasonable to shut up shop.

I wonder where all the money will go.....

Always late to the party

Just listened to that chimp Andrew Bridgen on LBC saying Farage should get a knighthood to "unite" the country.

A good 5 minute example of why he was kept out of harms way during the election campaign.

Standing proudly in front of that poster and all the other st he's done and Bridgen seriously thinks a knighthood is deserved and that it would help?

Considering he's achieved his sole aim unlike most other politicians and is 100x more deserving than a lot of other recipients, I think he should have a statue erected opposite your house at the very least.

I don't think the GE was a total disaster for BP. They won the argument. And they appear to have hurt Labour in many seats, given the Brexity Tories a boost.

I think a knighthood would help heal the divide. It would be a clear sign that leavers are no longer outcasts in the eyes of the political establishment.

Of course they won the argument.

My issue with the idea of rewarding Farage isn't because he wanted to leave the EU.

I've said before there are loads of people who want to leave the EU and I might disagree with them but we lost and the way they've conducted themselves has been entirely fair and appropriate.

Farage isn't suitable for any sort of honour because of the way he's conducted himself IMO.

I think it's poor judgement from Bridgen (again) to suggest it.

Feel free, just knowing he's annoyed you immensely outweighs a splash of dog piss.

I think that's part and parcel of it though. At least the poster you referred to earlier, which was meant to be a big shock horror racist Farage Brexit is evil show stopper and it turns out that most people don't have a problem with it.

As per our discussion on the BBC thread it's the faux outraged political class who IMO have stirred up massive division and resentment by labelling everything and everyone who disagrees with them racist, and it is they who should be weeded out.

I don't think it could have been any more of a disaster if they had tried. They won zero seats. The people who voted Brexit were more likely to vote Tory rather than Labour, I think that's why Farage tried to make a pact with Boris before the election (and I think there were rumours about Brexiteers being offered Honours to avoid them standing in safe Tory seats). So, a bit of a cluster-fk, in that respect at least.

What argument did they win by winning zeros eats? The argument that had already been won? If a knighthood is going to do anything it's going to be a big Eff You to the "Remainers" rather than any divide-healing. That might appeal to the Hard Brexit EU haters, the question for Boris is "will that bring him more or less voters than a enuine rapprochement with Tory remainers"

I think you're missing the point, it was never about seats unless Brexit wasn't delivered. It now is going to be, however the pressure needed to be applied - Good job Nige
