PRESTON MUPPET

Preston was trending on Twitter on Monday night, although it had more to do with the visit of West Bromwich Albion than anything else.  However, a young Labour councillor managed to get in on the hashtag with a rather daft video in which he appeared to mock some Brexit Party activists in the town.  He found it somehow "ironic" that the party was campaigning outside a German shop.  Many Twitter users were quick to point out that the leader of the Brexit Party is married to a German and were understandably flummoxed as to what his point actually was.


We're not leaving Europe Cllr Bailey - that is physically impossible - we're leaving the political and increasingly colonialist construct of the European Union.  Of course, we're only leaving as long as your party is kept on the opposition benches.
