And the odd £100 million.
Hilarious that Annunziata Rees-Mogg is the first candidate for euro elections in Farage's Brexit party.
Just saw that Paul got there first, still incredible. She is in good company with Nige, having failed to win a seat in the commons a couple of times.

Don't worry. The Conservatives are the party of business.
Dodgy business.
Very good point. It's only in understanding each others identity and respecting each other that we can move forward and live together peacefully.
This is why I can't stand modern Politics. It's fine for Politicians to lie nowadays and the media/Government does nothing about it. Pathetic.
You see. I always knew you were a closet Socialist.
British troops are already deployed in NI. A surprisingly large number including Special Forces.
The first time I ever voted, I actually voted Labour in October 74. The last Tory PM I voted for was Major in 92. I vote for whatever suits me at the time. Not an ardent supporter of anyone. Would never vote Tory now if was I still there. Having said that I would never have voted for Corbyn either
Weyhey, another swing voter here!
But yes add to the above that the Lib Dems are known liars, then you suddenly realise you have no real option left.
I will vote on a second referendum if there is one, but apart from that I don't see myself voting again for a long long time. Something about UK politics needs to change.
Promises are not kept, ground-breaking referendums potentially not honoured, Parliament is a national embarassment, and yet MP expenses and salaries keep rising.
British politics is in a terrible state, none of them inspire anything , fortunately I don't have to make a decision.
But surely you must agree that the MP'S deserve all of their salary increase especially when judged by their output...
Lies up
Bullshit up
Broken promises up
Failed policies up
Continually voting against anything that moves up
Borrowing up
Making the UK a laughing stock up.
Wasting public money up.
Yes. All in all I do think that they are doing jolly well.
Three chears for the MPs.
According to the BBC website, Ms Rees-Mogg joined the Conservative Party at the age of 5 and started canvassing for them aged 8. Not exactly a normal family, are they?
Annunziata is a strange name
It's from the Italian for "Annunciation" - the Annunciation was when the Angel Gabriel appeared to Mary and told her she was to be the mother of Jesus. The Rees-Mogg family are devout Catholics - her middle name is Mary, as it happens.
Aaron Banks is burned they'll find another way to fund them
Some dirty dealings to find out about in the future. Would be funny if parliament actually came to an agreement to avoid the elections , Nigel would be most disappointed.
Yes, you are right; however the danger from Brexit is that eventually it could potentially lead to a fracture of the United Kingdom, with Scotland, metaphorically speaking floating off to join up with the EU in its own right, or even forming a 'Celtic' Union with the Irish Republic, inside the EU. If the UK does 'fracture' then I would suggest all bets are off as regards what happens to the various Countries.
The word Kingdom is the focal point, technically everyone in the UK is a 'subject' of the Crown/Queen, rather than being citizens, although most people would see themselves as citizens, the fact is that it is HM Government, etc. Plus there is no written constitution, everything goes off precedence, this compounds the problems and helps to explain why we are in a right mess just now. It would seem from now on, with Brexit and maybe other things as well, we are making up the Constitution as we go along! What's that old phrase "you couldn't make it up could you"... well it seems yes we can!
I almost feel (get the sense) that whether we leave the EU or not, the genie is out of the bottle and the UK is on the cusp of major and profound change, politically, economically, socially and in terms of statehood. How quickly that happens depends ultimately on the extent of the 'cathartic' experience left behind after Brexit.
She’ll get on well with her nephew Sixtus Dominic Boniface.
Still a strange name!
Didn't know there were two Moggs involved in politics. Isn't one enough ffs?
Yeah i'm well aware but a lot less than there were 20 odd years ago. Besides i think @Maticmaker was referring to Troops being deployed on the streets. Right now they are simply garrisoned here.
Sargon is a UKIP candidate 
It’s three too many
Their father was in the Lords, he was a character too. Editor of The Times for a long time.
Royal Irish Regiment has to be based somewhere, though...
For a minute I thought that you were talking about the Vice Lords, the gang.
Wasn't he a tad more liberal (albeit only on some things) than his son?
Brexit & Footy.
There would have been two Kemal's currently in the HoC had their grandfather not changed their surname during WW1.
There seems so much wrong with that. When the English league dominated the European Cup in the late 70s to mid 80s the national team was poor. France just won the World Cup with a league a long way from being the best, in fact, I think their national side has won more international titles than their domestic sides have won European club titles in the past 30 years.
You could argue that Brexit will be good for the national side because it will result in more African and Caribbean immigration, which is the demographic that has supplied the best young talents for England in recent years.
I don’t buy the idea that the players will down tools because they earn so much and have less competition either. Players that have what it takes to win the biggest titles are, by and large, motivated by something greater than money.
Yeah I definitely wasn't convinced by the "British players will be less motivated" argument, but it still raised some interesting points.
Quite true.
@Cheesy, he was liberal on drug policy, strangely enough!
