Have you ever seen such a shambles in your life?

The House of Commons is beginning to resemble a den of wild Kilkenny cats, fighting, biting, snarling. The Government seems to be disintegrating before our very eyes, with its unprecedented number of resignations – and the Conservative Party is in the process of tearing itself to shreds.

Postponements of critical Commons votes, votes of confidence, the list goes on.

Meanwhile, Ukip is, if anything, in an even worse state than the Tory Party. Nigel Farage, former Ukip leader, has been as good as his word and quit the party over the appointment, in an advisory capacity, of hard-line right-wing activist Tommy Robinson. Other prominent Ukip figures have followed in Farage's footsteps.

Farage – a man who does not merely talk, but acts as well – is considering setting up a new party as he fears Ukip turning into a latter-day BNP. He wants to recruit business people, and not merely those with an overwhelming political background.

New political parties are difficult to form and invariably have a distressingly short life-span. However, Farage, with his energy, verve and commitment, might just be the man to make one succeed.

l Did the John Major Government make a huge mistake in re-privatising the railways – a move which not all Tories at the time approved? Judging by the state of the railways today, it was probably not a wise policy.

The system is bedevilled by virtually constant strikes, overcrowded, dirty and unpunctual trains, increased fares and flawed timetables. Why can't our system be as good and smart as the impeccable Japanese railways, for instance?

No Tory Government likes to interfere in private business, but isn't it time for Transport Secretary Chris Grayling to brandish his big stick and tell the myriad railway companies to improve their performance - or else?

Jeremy Corbyn has vowed that a Labour Government would re-nationalise the railways if he gets the key to 10 Downing Street.
