    Thumbs up New Poll Puts Farage's Party On 35%!


    The Brexit Party remains well ahead of the pack with 35% of the vote, while the pro-EU Liberal Democrats move into second place on 16%, just ahead of Labour on 15%. The Greens and Conservatives make up the top five on 10% and 9% respectively.

    These latest results are taken from a representative sample of over 7,000 British adults conducted between 12th and 16th May. This larger than usual sample allows us to look closely at how different groups are likely to vote next week.

    ... The vast majority of 2017 Conservative voters who voted Leave in 2016 now plan to vote for the Brexit party in the EU elections (78%), with only 12% staying loyal. Theresa May is doing a relatively better job of holding on to those Conservatives who voted Remain (42%), though a quarter (25%) are moving to the Lib Dems.

    Labour is also struggling when it comes to previous backers who supported Leave, with around half (47%) planning to vote for the Brexit party. ...

    UK:

    European elections: May’s BIZARRE Tory campaign launch in front of just FIVE people

    THERESA MAY launched the crumbling Conservative Party’s European election campaign this morning in front of just five people and two photographers.

    A bizarre image uploaded onto social media from one attendee showed an embattled Mrs May at the official campaign launch on a makeshift stage she shared with four people. To put the embarrassing situation into perspective - just one reporter was allowed to attend on behalf of all broadcasters and was allowed to asked Prime Minister just one question. Social media users mocked Mrs May in the image, with one posting his own version of the unknown question asked to the Tory Party leader.

    The Twitter user said: “How much did she pay the four people who stood around her?”

    Another added: “Five people on stage and five in the audience. My God what a pathetic campaign launch.”

    Theresa May promises parliamentary vote on second Brexit referendum
    surprise.

    The 'second EU referendum' will likely be a false choice between:
    ►May's terrible EU withdrawal treaty that she calls Brexit (which in reality is hated by both pro-Brexit and anti-Brexit supporters)
    or
    ►remaining in the EU.
    So essentially it'll be a rigged vote where remainers would easily win.

    The stalling was planned after majority surprised the ruling globalists with decision to leave the EU...
    these past few years of so called "EU negotiations" were nothing but low grade theater.

    Lawmakers in Prime Minister Theresa May’s Conservative Party have begun a new push to oust her even earlier so that she doesn’t have the chance to put her Brexit compromise plan to a vote in parliament, the BBC’s political editor said. “There is a new push to oust PM ASAP so she doesn’t have chance to put the bill forward being led by Nigel Evans - Tory (Conservative) backbench committee meeting today - one tells me ‘it’s Sunday’ - day when euro results come thro that it’s over,” Laura Kuenssberg said on Twitter
    “Things have got worse for May overnight,” Kuenssberg said.

    They're investigating the f'k out of Farage right now, doing anything they can to cast doubt on Brexit legitimacy. Sounds, familiar.

    Did they ever find out who it was that donated 100k to Farage's campaign?

    I bet it was Russia.

    Of course, it's always Russia. Does British law allow for impeachment? They should probably go ahead and impeach Nigel before he takes office.

    They dont need to reveal donors until after the election but this guy stepped forward I believe because the media were in a frenzy about RUSSIA... Sound familiar?

    Nigel Farage to be examined over £450,000 payment from Arron Banks

    The European Parliament's advisory committee will look at whether Mr Farage broke rules by accepting funding from Leave campaigner Arron Banks.

    Nigel Farage said he did not declare the £450,000 sum to the European Parliament because he was about to leave politics and had been seeking a new life in the US.

    The committee will examine the case before advising the European Parliament President Antonio Tajani.

    The committee can meet on 4 June.

    MEPs found to have acted improperly can be reprimanded, their parliamentary allowance can be withheld or they can be banned from some activities.

    The payments from Arron Banks to Nigel Farage were revealed by a Channel 4 News investigation.

    Mr Farage confirmed that he was not talking to Channel 4 News, describing them as "political activists", and said he would not allow the broadcaster to attend Brexit Party events.

    The editor of Channel 4 News, Ben de Pear, said on Twitter he hoped "to resolve our access ban... ASAP".

    Electoral Commission visit
    Separately, the Electoral Commission has defended visiting The Brexit Party's offices to review the party's online fundraising activities.

    Party leader Nigel Farage accused the watchdog of acting "in bad faith" and "interfering in the electoral process".

    But the watchdog said there had been "significant public concern" about the way the party raises funds.

    Responding to Mr Farage's comments, an Electoral Commission spokesperson said there was no evidence of electoral offences, but added: "We want to satisfy ourselves that the party's systems are robust."

    The Brexit Party said it was "pleased, but not surprised" by the commission's announcement that it had not seen evidence of electoral offences.

    On Monday, former Labour Prime Minister Gordon Brown attacked The Brexit Party for receiving a large amount of money via what he called "undeclared, untraceable payments".
    Under the rules governing donations to political parties, amounts below £500 do not have to be declared.

    An official donation of £500 or more must be given by a "permissible donor", who should either be somebody listed on the UK electoral roll or a business registered at Companies House and operating in the UK.

    At an event in Glasgow on Monday, Mr Brown said there was no way of telling whether donations to The Brexit Party - which can be made through PayPal - come from British or foreign sources, and therefore he suspected the system was being abused.

    Defending his party's practises, Mr Farage said: "We make it very clear, we only want your money if you're on the UK electoral roll."

    "We're looking for irregularities, if we see things that have come from overseas, we simply send it back," he said.

    The Brexit Party has updated its website since Mr Brown's speech to say that those making donations or becoming registered supporters must comply with the permissible donor requirements.

    Game of Thrones...


    So yesterday May announced these plans for a second referendum along with a fourth vote on the EU withdrawal treaty.
    This had to all be agreed with all the senior government ministers before she was allowed to announce it.
    But NOW at least two of these ministers are saying that plans for the second referendum were never agreed to and May the Fascist just added it in on her own accord.
    LOL! Just when you thought things couldn't get more $#@!ed up...


    https://twitter.com/bbclaurak/status...19945109561345



    Now most of May's party members are so incensed that they are refusing to sit in Parliament until she is gone... This is a serious rebellion.
    It now seems they will change the party rules to ensure May is gone by the end of TONIGHT.

    Boris has problems, big problems, but he'll be better than May.
    Much as I still think Farage is controlled opposition he will be better too if he takes it from Boris.

    Latest info seems to be she will step down right after the EU elections tomorrow, but if she refuses
    then her party will likely trigger an exceptional no confidence ballot.
    If neither of those things happen then the face of tyranny becomes more exposed than ever and a serious risk of mass social unrest...

    They had Vaclav Klaus speak at their rally yesterday. If you remember Ron Paul was invited by the former Czech president to speak some years ago. Looked like a really fun rally:

    Hi Zippy. Nice to have you trolling a thread of mine! Farage is innocent!

    Nigel Farage has insisted his Brexit party does not accept donations in foreign currency and dismissed the Electoral Commission as being “full of remainers” as it visited his party’s office as part of a funding review.

    The commission announced it was looking into the Brexit party’s donations after the former prime minister Gordon Brown urged it to investigate concerns over the legality of its funding.

    After the commission visited the party’s headquarters on Tuesday, a party spokesman said the commission had said “it has not seen any evidence of electoral offences”. The commission had said the visit was part of its “active oversight and regulation” of donations rather than an investigation.

    The spokesman said: “We are pleased, but not surprised. We are keen to be as transparent as possible.”

    Now it's being said that May will not start her phase as caretaker PM until after the Trump visit
    because she fears it would make her look like an embarrassment in the eyes of Trump for him to have the state visit with a caretaker PM.
