Now that the dust has settled a bit post Theresa May’s olive branch speech, the EU has come back with their normal reply - we want more money! But in the meanwhile, what is Nigel Farage up to?

Well surprise of all surprises - not - the EU seems to have come to a quick decision and just wants more British money.

There seems to be scant regard for our PMs request for them to be constructive and imaginative. EU imagination doesn’t appear to go much further than the colour of our sterling banknotes.

According to the press the EU is looking at double the approximately £20 billion amount hinted at in the lead up to Theresa May’s speech, with the Independent putting the figure at nearer £44 billion..

But one has to surmise that the EU would have doubled any figure we gave them, however high. I suppose that’s called negotiation.

Although none of these responses is really official yet, the message coming out is that the EU views Mrs May’s offer as the absolute bare minimum for our role in the EU until we leave on Brexit day - they want shedloads on top for something they refer to as legacies and commitments made.

Brussels is due to discuss the points in Theresa may’s speech tomorrow Monday 25th September, with about a hundred UK officials in attendance. So we might hear a little more then.

While we concentrate on this though, the Germans have gone to the polls for their general election.

Angela Merkel is the clear favourite to retain the Chancellorship, but the Guardian does report that there are fears of a surge of the fright wing AfD. There has even been a call by leading German politicians for people to get out and vote to counter this late surge by the AfD.

The exit polls will start coming out after sic o’clock Central European Time, which is an hour ahead of the UK.

On the domestic political front Nigel Farage may be about to put the cat among the UKIP pigeons.

The UK Independence Party is having another leadership contest at the moment, with the new leader due to be announced at the Party’s conference in Torquay on this coming Friday 29th September.

At first it was almost assumed by many that the eventual winner would be the current deputy leader, Peter Whittle, who is also a London Assembly member.

But just recently, a newcomer, Anne-Marie Waters, has broken into the act and is now the new favourite with many bookies and she also has a very vocal support both inside and outside the party.

Anne-Marie Waters is an Irish political activist who helped Tommy Robinson and Paul Weston launch Pegida UK as well as being a director of Shariah Watch.

Many people believe that a Waters victory in the UKIP leadership race would lead to the demise of the party as it wanders an anti-muslim wilderness.

Nigel Farage said as much in a recent interview with the BBC’s Ellie Price and Leave.EU co-founder, Arron Banks, said that a Waters win would give UKIP a decent burial.

But now Farage may be going much further. It is reported in the Express that he will set up a new political party should an anti-Islam candidate win the leadership.

According to the newspaper’s sources, Mr Farage said UKIP would be finished if she won and most of the party’s MEPs are likely to follow him.

So, a lot going on for a quiet Sunday.

But what do you think about all this.

Please leave a comment below.

Thank you.
