nigel farage and the milkshake. what flavour was the milkshake, eve? nigel farage and the milkshake. what flavour was the milkshake, eve7m was a salted caramel with banana. flavour was the milkshake, eve7m was a salted caramel with bananam sounds yummy. eve wanted to mention the salted caramel with banana. it is part of the courtesy we are trying to reintroduce into public life. i'll give you the opportunity to mention the flavour of the milkshake. there are lots of pictures of the milkshake all over his suit. the i are following up on the important question about the finances of the brexit party, serious questions have been raised about that. gordon brown made a speech about it earlier today. the problem seems to be that they are taking lots of small contributions, which is absolutely fine, and i'm sure the vast majority of those are coming from people in this country, but because many of them have been made through paypal where you can make payments anonymously, there is no tracing where this money is coming from.

was andrew marr out to get nigel farage with him last sunday. and do his brexit a party and the other part competing next week in elections for the european parliament receive a fair and proportionate airtime on the bbc? one of andrew's and on his programme last sunday was nigel farage from the leader of the brakes brexit party polls for the elections to the european parliament. he was not happy with the line of questioning. here we are with one of the biggest changes in politics at ever occurred and you are not even interested what is wrong with the bbc? do you still want to roll back on controls and add guns to this country? i've been going around the country speaking at rallies every night, and you know who is not there? the bbc and from this line of questioning i can see why. you are just not interested. we were just not interested. let's talk about democracy and trust and competence in politics. this is ludicrous. do you still feel that people with hiv should not be allowed in this country? do i think the national health service is there fo

this is what nigel farage wants to make of today's result. one word of caution, we are obviously making a huge deal of this, it is definitely a moment, but turnout on thursday's election was much lower to the turnout in the referendum. they are different voters, aren't they? a different cross—section. they are different voters, aren't they? a different cross-section. you could argue that those who voted for the no deal parties or the revoke article 50 parties are on the extreme ends of those who didn't turn up to vote in the referendum. this is not a general election, people use this as a chance to protest to say something, doesn't mean if you voted for the brexit party that you would vote for them ina general party that you would vote for them in a general election. let's turn to paper to the iyer. do you think this is something the public are looking for rather than an uninspiring politician? is he a threat? it is so easy to be on the outside a demagogic figure promising things you know you will never have to deliver because you will neve

but nigel farage is taking those seats away from the tories. they think the chairman would lose, penny morden would lose, nick hancock goes. it would lose, nick hancock goes. it would be a bloodbath if you can make that kind of transition from a european election to a general election. take us to the next poll, that looked, 2034 people. meanwhile the observer poll, 2034 for the euro? this is for the european elections later this month. they are looking at an absolute fantastic, thumping victory for nigel farage's brexit party. labour slipping down to 21% and the conservatives just 1196. to 21% and the conservatives just 11%. the brexit party has more than the conservatives and the labour party put together. the tories have fallen below the liberal democrats, here on 12. this is bad news for both labour and the tories. but whether or not it actually tra nslates whether or not it actually translates into anything other than a rather pointless vote, given that we are expecting any meps, even if they do take up their seats are not going to be there

ukip, minus nigel farage, just evaporated. and lib dem hearts are singing, who would have thought it? they sucked in remain side votes, mostly labour supporters by the look of it, in the same way that nigel farage's party plundered the votes of brexit britain. now the country looks dug in for what could become a kind of trench political warfare. the brexit party didn'tjust win in seats and votes, they came top everywhere, except the remain side bastions of london and scotland. they didn't stand in northern ireland. there, the alliance party are set to spring a surprise by winning a seat. the liberal democrats were the other big winners, coming second overall. labour knocked off its perch in london, including jeremy corbyn's islington constituency, by the way. just as the brexit party won in theresa may's seat in maidenhead. and we saw again younger voters and graduates more likely to vote for remain side parties — the lib dems, the greens, who had a good election too, and change uk, who had a bad one. 0lder voters generally

so they accepted nigel farage's argument? yes, on the other side, the other thing that was going on was more on the remain side of the debate and it was between labour and the liberal democrats and the greens for the remain vote. here the polls were very uncertain and most said the labour party should still come second. but all were detecting during the campaign the liberal democrats and greens were pulling more remain voters. the question was was the more clearer we want a second referendum and we hope it will come up with a different result of the liberal democrats and the greens and the change uk would draw voters. it did, not to the same extent as the brexit party drew voters from the conservative party. it has come as more of a shock to the labour party and perhaps surprised the liberal democrats in particular. but it does therefore mean that on the one hand the conservative party is now going to have to debate should the next tory prime minister be embracing the idea of leaving without a deal? but equally should the lab

farage has doneis worried that what nigel farage has done isjust going to push the party very much to the right into a no deal. but in funny way what philip hammond said a few days ago gives me some hope. because he is going to be brave, he says he is going to be brave, he says he is going to be brave, and take a stance, probably suicidalfor his own brave, and take a stance, probably suicidal for his own career, and vote against the government in a vote against the government in a vote of no—confidence, and i am sure there will be others, possibly dominic grieve, kenneth clarke, justin grayling, are names that spring to mind. they have a majority of four, even with the dup, so it ta kes two of four, even with the dup, so it takes two to change sides and the government crashes down. if they see it hurtling towards a precipice, the brave and in my view principle tories will take a stand against it, sacrificed themselves to save the country. let's turn to the daily mail. really bad set of elections for the labour party, a party in opposition to come into third place. a lot of labour vo

nigel farage was there. for all the kind of rhetoric and performance policies, is he a man who at times has done deals, has been able to work with people even though there might be shouting across the chamber, to make the system work when it can be an advantage to the uk? he would be fine with me saying no. he doesn‘t go to the european parliament looking to make deals, that is not what he has done. his attendance record is not great on committees, he used european parliament as a bully pulpit. he has said that as a result of the brexit party‘s performance, that the uk government should involve the brexit party in the next stage of negotiations. he once meps to be part of the negotiating team for a deal that he doesn‘t want to do. that‘s not going to happen. if there not in government, brexit party meps will not take a role in negotiations, the only real they were public play is a withdrawal agreement ever got the house of commons, it would then go to the european parliament to be ratified and brexit

is that the nigel farage party or are there two? ukip, the party nigel farage left. right, but he started another party now. he started another party. yeah, so i'm just confused. brilliant. a lot better than the lot running the country now. the uk independence party will likely be weakened by the loss of nigel farage, whether they'll admit it or not. a figurehead, a symbol can mobilise a mood — of anger, of hope, of both. these elections will help determine whether ukip can still gain from broken loyalties to the big parties, or whether they will be discarded and left behind. for a while, politics seemed almost easy for ukip. since the vote to leave, life's got much harder. john pienaar, bbc news, middlesbrough. football now, and it's a big night for liverpool as they face barcelona in the semifinal of the champions league at the nou camp in spain. 0ur sports correspondent andy swiss is there. what a moment for liverpool and theirfans. what a moment for liverpool and their fans. yes, sophie, welcome to barcelona, and what a tantalising prospect we have in store, be

—— nigel farage? -- nigel farage? do you think it is just a bit of headline grabbing? yes. a good exclusive for the paper. the financial times. it really looks at the global, notjust the financial times. it really looks at the global, not just the the financial times. it really looks at the global, notjust the mexican or american impacts of tariffs on mexico. this is a thing happening in a faraway place, you would think, but trump has imposed 5% tariffs on all trade goods between mexico and the united states but this has an impact on our pensions, because there is obviously a trade war already in place between the us and china, £200 billion worth of goods, and it is tragedy for mexico that this happens, 80% of it back support —— exports go to its northern neighbour, and he is using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. it is using a trade policy to deal with a social issue, migrants on the border. but it is more strong arm tactics from donald trump, and it does seem to work, it grabs people's attention. we said here earlier on about entering a leadership contest, thatis about

as two opinion polls suggest the brexit party is ahead by a signicant margin, its leader, nigel farage, says he would use a successful result to demand the party is included in the government's eu negotiating team. our chief political correspondent vicki young has more theresa may is keeping faith with her brexit deal but there is little sign she's persuading others to back the plan. the uk is still in the eu and has told european elections. senior conservatives braced for a challenging contest. these are going to be difficult elections, that much has been clear from the start. for some people this is the ultimate protest vote opportunity, turnouts tend to be quite low in european elections and people do use it as something of a free vote and i think that will be even more true this time. ironically this is in a sense for some people the second referendum. and two opinion polls out today suggest nigel farage‘s new brexit party could do well. he's back in the spotlight, as outspoken as ever. this is ludicrous. ..and confident of inflicting damage on his all political enemies. ..and co

it would be difficult for nigel farage to put this number of people up. he says he will put up 650 candidates and what we expect is that come the general election he will target about 46. there isn't a general election, if you are just joining us. please, no! we are looking at a comres poll which said the brexit party could do well if there were to be a general election. let's turn to another poll in the sunday papers tomorrow. the observer. this was a survey of 2004 people and it is an opinium poll. looking at the euro. what we get here is bad news for the tories, they only got 11%, whereas the brexit party are on 34%. it puts them in the lead with labour on 21%. but there will be meps who probably will not take their seat. i think in his previous incarnation with ukip we have seen that some of the people who sail under his flag or under the flag of his party, they don't stand up flag of his party, they don't stand up to close scrutiny. how much more diplomatic can i be? we have still got ukip left in tatters after nigel farage. now many leaders have the

they are clearly going to seek some kind of role, we know that nigel farage is extremely good at making his case to the public in a way that appeals to a certain kind of voter. he has done that again. susan lovett had this response. plenty to talk about that with the bbc head of news—gathering jonathan rowe who joins bbc head of news—gathering jonathan rowe whojoins me now. thank you bbc head of news—gathering jonathan rowe who joins me now. thank you for coming on. we know brexit really defines people. no surprise there are different complaints come again in the bbc can deal with each 11 by one specifically let's start with the graphic of pro—and anti—brexit votes aggregated. you left the conservatives out of the pro brexit in tally. that was wrong, wasn't it? one ofa in tally. that was wrong, wasn't it? one of a whole range of data we did on the numbers. as you remember, it was online for a while and refers to that at no stage a major part of our coverage and i don't think anybody watching our coverage can think we we re watching our coverage can think we were saying anythin

so that was nigel farage speaking earlier. let's speak to our correspondence naomi grimley whojoins me in speak to our correspondence naomi grimley who joins me in the studio here. a huge note for him. unbelievable that the brexit party was formed so recently. indeed. the conservatives were bracing themselves for terrible results, but it really is quite extraordinary when you look at london, for example, they only pulled 8% of the votes, the conservatives. they've gone down from 19 meps and they are frankly looking at the worst result since they were founded in the early 18305. since they were founded in the early 1830s. that's the governing conservative party in the uk. let's go to the main opposition labor party because they are not without their own difficulties? no, not good news for them at all, they have been forced into third place because the liberal democrats seem to have enjoyed a resurgence perhaps because they had a very clear line on brexit that they wanted to remain. labour on the other hand had to be rather syri

nigel for a rush, the brexit party. —— nigel farage. the second seat allocated to the liberal democrats and the candidate awarded is catherine beard it. —— catherine bearder. the third seat goes to the brexit party and the candidate elected is alexandra phillips. we will stay with this list because nigel farage may say something but a very strong performance therefore the brexit party here. the lib dems again strong. once again in a strong second place absolutely and, again, the conservative party falling back appallingly in that region the last time they were in second place just behind ukip. this time, nowhere near it. look, the greens have an mp in this area. in the coming weeks it will be interesting to see what they do with this. we heard from brexit party representatives tonight and they will now try to demand a role in negotiating the brexit deal or how we leave the eu. that seems very difficult to imagine how they may do that. and what sort of a negotiation is that? one without a deal? surely they do not suggest taking place

in a speech in glasgow, gordon brown had nigel farage in his sights. he says the election is about democracy. democracy is undermined if we have undeclared, unreported, untraceable payments being made to the brexit party. so what are the rules and giving money to political parties? for donations over £500, parties must be able to show the money comes from a uk voter or a uk—registered company. gifts of less than £500 do not need to be reported. some are asking whether the rules are out of date, given how easy it is now to make payments online from anywhere. but the brexit party is pulling in lots of money and, apparently, doing well and so scrutiny from its opponents was always going to follow. and the watchdog, the electoral commission, will pay it a visit tomorrow. and, chris, there's more european election developments tonight, this time involving the former deputy prime minster lord heseltine? yes, lord heseltine has been suspended by the conservative party, he has had his whip removed. he said over the weekend he would be voting liberal democr

not sure that's the right answer to fighting nigel farage, you don't want a nigel farage, you don't want a nigel farage figure to combat him, but there is a shift in westminster, you can feel it. a few months ago boris johnson was down and out and conservative mps picked the two candidates who would go forward to the ballot, 120,000 or so members in the ballot, 120,000 or so members in the country, membership that is now very pro—brexit and favours no deal is an option and i think mps, the more they see their party struggling and the more desperate they become, the more likely it is they will turn to somebody like borisjohnson. looking a bit further ahead, if they turn to borisjohnson and he pursues a no—deal brexit in october, parliament has said it doesn't want a no—deal brexit. parliament has said it doesn't want a no-deal brexit. absolutely. there is no guarantee, should boris johnson push for a no deal at the end of october going into november, that he could get it through through parliament. absolutely. parliament is paralysed. but what we do know from the voting so far is it

in a night of remarkable results, the brexit party led by nigel farage and the liberal democrats, who want to stop brexit, took full advantage of the deep disaffection among voters throughout britain. the foreign secretary, jeremy hunt, said the very existence of the conservative party was under threat unless it delievered brexit. threat unless it delivered brexit. and labour'sjeremy corbyn is now under intense pressure to back another referendum. let's look at the numbers in more detail. the brexit party won over 31% share of the vote, just a few months after being formed. it wasn't around in 2014. the liberal democrats took 20% of the vote, up 13 percentage points. both labour and the conservatives had a gruelling time. and ukip‘s share of the vote collapsed from 5 years ago. in terms of seats, the brexit party has 29 meps, the liberal democrats 16, labour 10 and the conservatives just 4. the greens made some significant gains, while ukip lost all its seats. our political editor laura kuenssberg is at westminster. small parties with big, clear m essa 9 es small parties with big, c

this i did that he is someone who is taking on nigel farage and the brexit party. and of course donald trump favours prexy, it is part of his global policy. back in the olden days, you would have the presidents and prime ministers respecting internal politics, where they would not comment on who their favourite candidate was. trump has amended that and put the table on its head. ido that and put the table on its head. i do wonder if picture wise, whether borisjohnson appearing i do wonder if picture wise, whether boris johnson appearing next i do wonder if picture wise, whether borisjohnson appearing next donald trump, how that would work at beyond nigel farage to add a photo taken sunday... trump wants to come to the uk to meet his friends he said. he says they were both, nigel for rog and borisjohnson says they were both, nigel for rog and boris johnson him says they were both, nigel for rog and borisjohnson him guys in very interesting people. he also said kim jong was about whatever, so whatever trumps is about people, take with a pinch of salt. what all offici

nigel farage has punish the tories again. as a party they are more really divided than they have ever been, and it is hard to see how the next prime minister will be anything but a hard brexiter. languages only reflect this. >> the message is clear from these results, we need to deliver brexit. i led a campaign to get britain out of the european union and we must honor the referendum result. reporter: but they were actually more votes to remain parties intend to work to the brexit party and u.k. independence party. the liberal them across were in second place, stealing labor voters and jeremy corbyn's halfhearted support for a second referendum. >> i think it's clear from the big picture of the results that we have a clear majority in the country who want to stop brexit. reporter: most labor voters and stemmps want the party to bleeding by advocating for another public vote. jeremy corbyn says he supports this but his focus primarily on winning power. >> the priority at the moment is for this government to call for a general

|j jeremy corbyn and he can do a deal or sale in nigel farage. i would just like to finish with you, anne. the next stage of this is that, who is backing who? will people be showing their hands quite early? because everybody is saying this is going to get dirty. there will be deals that will need to be done. deals will need to be done, suddenly because of the number of people and in the race. you can already see when matt hancock came out, he had a very prepared peach —— pitch and has taken a lot of advice. i thought, thank goodness someone has got round to that. rory stewart, by already ruling out that he would not serve under boris because of the no—deal issue, i do you fly is a candidate or you will be gone quite quickly. i guess a lot of these... i will be interested in what michael gove says. my information is still not happy with boris and despite the fa ct happy with boris and despite the fact they are both brexiteers, there are fact they are both brexiteers, there a re clear fact they are both brexiteers, there are clear differences

and that reference to nigel farage in the brexit party was echoed by john taylor. let's find out more about those rules with the bbc‘s of cheap local adviser rick bailey. are you in breach of your own rules given at the brexit party has never filled it in any candidates before? when you approach an election you look at what you are thinking about coverage of different parties you look at something which starts off with ofcom and talks about the past electorate support. that's how people have voted in previous elections, but this is a unique elections, but this is a unique election and there are some extraordinary circumstances as you suggested. and that cannot possibly cover with a new parties into the context of the election is also part of the things you have to take into consideration when you are thinking about how much coverage to give to parties. 50 for instance a judgement about current electoral support might look at opinion polls. of course people are sceptical about those we are very careful to make sure that we only give weight to opinion polls where t

nigel farage is making plans for brussels. the brexit party claims an overwhelming victory taking the lions share of the vote across the uk in the european elections. if we don't leave on october the sist, if we don't leave on october the 31st, then the scores you've seen for the brexit party today will be repeated in a general election and we are getting ready for it. the conservatives suffer their worst performance since 1832 — pushed into fifth place, while labour are punished for a lack

what do you make of nigel farage's new brexit party? i am not a fan of him, but he is better than the others are doing, labour and conservative. for the people who voted to leave the eu, three years later there is a distinct scent of anger and the polls are suggesting the brexit party could do pretty well in the european elections and you can hear their what is driving people to potentially support him. they feel he has a clear message, a simple message. the anger from a he has a clear message, a simple message. the angerfrom a lot he has a clear message, a simple message. the anger from a lot of people is that they think they are being ignored and that politicians in westminster think they can get away with ignoring them. that is what is going to be a big driver in these european elections. thank you very much. we will be looking at that through the afternoon, that sense of being ignored, like passing people buy when the real story in middlesbrough is very different indeed. we will be hearing from people who are looking up the solution

here is the brexit party with nigel farage. their space. here is the brexit party with nigel faragelj their space. here is the brexit party with nigel farage. i think if they push forward with this, this will be seen as a coalition of politicians against the people and i think millions of people would give up think millions of people would give up on both labour and conservative. this would be the final betrayal. what is the conservative party for if they sign up for this? on the labour side, you have people who disagree as well. there are many who disagree as well. there are many who do not want to leave the year union. 100 or so who want another referendum. they are saying to jeremy corbyn, don't agree to anything that does not include another referendum. so even if the government and the labour party can come close to making a deal. selling it to the respective party is another challenge. police and crime commissioners are calling for controversial new consent forms, asking rape complainants to hand over their phones for exa
