Farage. Not an MP. A member of a party who have no MPs. Just a man in a camel coat holding a pint of beer, ranting. Treat him thus.

Elsewhere Good Morning Britain presenter Piers Morgan, never one to be shy about voicing his opinions, wrote,
I think Mr Corbyn has proved a lot of people, including me, completely wrong. https://t.co/zJbxFLEM2J

He added “Theresa’s toast” saying that she “has lost any authority/power to lead this country’s Brexit negotiations. She has to go”.

The biggest error in my view, amongst many errors, was triggering article 50 BEFORE an election that has now returned a hung parliament
