Rahm Emanuel represents the last vestiges of dying, corporate do-nothing foolishness. He’s not a Democrat. He’s a wealthy, status quo strongly-worded letter in a suit. Anyone who listens to him is digging their own political grave.

Can you imagine the derisory coverage and outright mockery if any other party with single-digit MPs decided to "declare a General Election" and go on a bus tour? Yet when this outlandish nonsense comes from Farage, it is treated as somehow brilliant. "Subscribe to continue..." No thanks. I'm good.

For a long time I have heard rumours of secret plans hatched in Moscow by Isabel Oakeshott and Michael Ashcroft to discredit David Cameron ahead of the EU Referendum and I've always believed them.
X-Twitter Post by Isabel Oakeshott @IsabelOakeshott

For a long time I have heard rumours of secret flights into Manchester: plane loads of migrants. I have never believed it and still don't. If true, it should bring down the government.

Isabel Oakeshott runs squealing from David Cameron #piggate claims

Call Me Dave co-author admits source of pig anecdote 'could have been slightly deranged' and says different standards apply in books and newspapers

Fri 9 Oct 2015 16.03 BST

The hinges are coming off piggate.

Isabel Oakeshott, former political editor at the Sunday Times and co-author of Call Me Dave, the unauthorised biography of David Cameron that set social media ablaze with its tales of prime ministerial porcine passion, has further distanced herself from one of her book's most oinked-about passages.

Detective Chief Superintendent James

Bexley area, said: "It was miraculous
that nobody was killed or seriously
injured in the large explosion caused
by Rees


"He showed a complete disregard for
the welfare and safety of the people
who live in, or were travelling through,
the area at the time of the explosion -
all because he was unhappy with the

"CCTV from a bus travelling down the
road at the time shows how it narrowly

A man builds an IED. He sets it off in a busy public street. Shrapnel flies about hitting cars, homes and a child's bedroom. It's a miracle nobody is injured. And Reform MP Sarah Pochin calls his imprisonment "disproportionate" and "two tier justice."
It does raise this point of two-tiered
justice..


Reform's Sarah Pochin believes the
sentence handed to the 64-year-old who
blew up a ULEZ camera was
disproportionate'.
