Whilst there's a long way to go, it appears that Nigel Farage is now favourite to become the next Prime Minister.

Farage isn't in this inexplicable position because people suddenly trust him. He's there because the space was left wide open.

The Bedroom Tax still stands. So does the Benefit Cap.

The two-child limit continues to push families into poverty.

Not one of these policies came from Scotland. But we're the ones cleaning them up.
