BBC reports on Kilroy in EU Parliament

After years of UKIP representation, it was Robert Kilroy-Silk MEP who finally hit the headlines in the EU Parliament today. Notably he was trying to make an intervention in a debate on one of the few matters this huge and shockingly expensive body is allowed to have a say - the once in every five year chance to either fully accept or to totally reject the new EU Commission, (nothing more of course, note the awesome powers the only democratically elected officials in the entire EU are actually afforded). The new EU President eventually shied away from a vote fearing defeat, thus throwing the EU into yet more uncertainty - Excellent!

***Later Update - this report from The Scotsman details the interjection - linked here***

The news item, linked here, which also trailers Kilroy's looming non-constitutional suspension may be read from this link. The following are quotes from that report:-

UK Independence Party Euro MP Robert Kilroy-Silk has been shouted down as he demanded a say during a heated debate in the European Parliament.

The former chat show host caused uproar as he made a point of order during a debate on the new European Commission......

....A UKIP spokesman said Mr Kilroy-Silk's expulsion from the party "is on the cards".
