I hope Mr Wolfe is not seriously ill but its not been a very good week for UKIP has it, and its only Thursday.

[Jomlett]

Steven Woolfe is conscious and his condition has improved in the past two hours.

[ToraToraTora]

It may not have been a very good week Mikey but it's been an excellent year for ukip and indeed the nation.

[ToraToraTora]

not sure why you keep having a pop at UKIP, I'd get your own house in order first mate.

Why digress to Prescott, it's been like a Monty Python episode for ukip this week.we hope this man makes a full recovery .

[Gromit]

// Perhaps he is visualising a future Tory/UKIP coalition? //

For that to happen, the Tories would have to lose lots of seats which seems highly unlikely, and UKIP would have to win some, which seems even less likely.

You mean for UKIP are having a standard labour week.

brain doodah ?? oh dear...hope he is well soon..politics don't MATTER !

[anneasquith]

Ymg. I am no labour supporter, but In fairness I'm not aware they physically attack each other.

[EDDIE51]

TTT no need for us to have a 'pop' at UKIP they are quite able to do it themselves!

[anneasquith]

Mr. Farage " is holding an investigation into the incident. Inspector Farage .excellent !!!!!!!!

It seems that Mr Wolfe is going to be discharged today, which must be good news. It would appear that Farage is back in the saddle not a moment too soon, as he has now pledged to sort out this affair.

For a physical fight to break out is just not acceptable, as Farage, to be fair to him, has readily acknowledged.

I wouldn't have his job for any salary whatsoever.

The BBC News has suggested that Mr Woolfe threw the first punch.

Also, on the continent the poliz won't get involved unless there is a complaint from one of the two of them. Farage will be passing his spare Euro notes on.

" Its not very grown up....what happened is not good"

Can't disagree with Nige there.

[DTCwordfan]

Not much a response now, must be a local spat.....wonder where 'Douglas,' he not of 'Scottish moo-hoo fame' is on this?

[douglas9401]

To be perfectly honest, I couldn't give a toss.

[DTCwordfan]

not you, douglas, he of Carswell fame.....

[EDDIE51]

Heard a report on this on BBC radio Cambridge. A main point was that this happened inside the EU parliament building, other MEPs are disgusted that UK MEPs could behave in this way and bring parliament into disrepute. I know we are leaving but in the eyes of the EU we are just not fit to be a part of it and the opinion is that they are well rid of us. It may well harden opinion against offering a 'decent' exit deal.
Yes, I know this will be music to the ears of many AB members but on a practical level it may be more of a problem.
Just imagine the row if it had happened in the House of Commons !!!

[DTCwordfan]

Oh Lord....imagine if it had happened in the Upper House.

Surely not.
