Was watching this interview with the BBC. Really has the feel of SNL sketch come to life.
It’s not the first time this has happened. David Davis resigned to force a by-election some years ago and nobody of consequence ran against him, so the whole thing was a nothing burger.
It may be not working out the way Nigel wants (for example, no other serious candidates means people are still thinking about his financial issues) , and this pleases me. I had a video from TLDR, but it won’t let me include it for some reason.
As I say, it’s great that – because of the weirdness of all this – every mention of this election has to summarize Farage’s malfeasance all over again and that calling this was his idea.
Were there other parties in this election then there might be other things to focus on.
But no, all they can do is give us a daily reminder of Farage’s grift, petulance and who stands between him and a seat in the Commons 
We must start calling him Barbara.
(after Barbara Streisand of course)
