it profiled the life of patrick griffin of pen brokenew hampshire. it documents how mr. griffin struggled for years with the substance misuse disorder, overdosed four times within a six-hour period and twice within those six hours emergency medical responders came to his house and revived him with narcan, the antidote that reverses opioid overdoses. and some people reading that article say, well, why can't he just control his substance use disorder. they don't understand that this is a disease. it changes people's brain makeup. the chemistry of an individual's brain. and just like health -- heart disease or diabetes or any other chronic illness, there is a physiology involved with that that affects a person's ability to get better. and one of the things that saves people like patrick when they're overdosing is the drug narcan, or nalaxone, which is the official name. it's been used so much in new hampshire, most people refer to it as narcan. and we've seen that the pharmaceutical industry has dramatically increased the price of narcan. as this epidemic has spread, the pr

mr bolton has faced calls to step down after it was reported his girlfriend sent a series of offensive texts, including racist comments about prince harry's fiance meghan markle. one ukip member of the european parliament, patrickxplained the party's days might be numbered if it does badly in the local elections in may. let me put it this way, to use an old phrase of david mellor, there is no doubt the party is drinking in the last chance saloon and that is the local government elections in may, for which we have good candidates who want to stand and i will not undercut them, they deserve support. if we have a situation when we were wiped out in the county council elections and the general election and now the district elections, too, maybe people will have to get round the table and see if the electorate are trying to tell us something, and that is — thank you very much, good night. but if people in the eastern counties want ukip to flourish and continue, they really need to vote ukip candidates in may. but you were a one—subject party and that is now gone, many would say. the party was set up with the central aim of getting the uk out of the european union but my retort is that has not happened yet and we do

that is why for example the signs are patrick mclaughlin will no longer remain as party chairman. he has been a minister says 1989 so way back in mrsthere may be others of similar longevity will might be eased out or moved to one side. you talked about brexit and the unavoidable subject and the buzzword that has been resonating lately is the idea of whether this government has enough bandwidth to talk about 01’ has enough bandwidth to talk about or do anything subject other than brexit. what sort of people will theresa may look to be bringing on who might be able to do that for her? i think she will be looking to present a different face of the conservative party so we are expecting a renewed emphasis on promoting a more diverse and younger tory mp because there is a pressure cooker effect on the backbenches building up with you have mps elected in 2015 and 2017 putting their hands up and saying what about us? when are we going to get a crack? so it's notjust an element of trying to present a more dynamic face to the electorate, there is also an issue about party management, about trying to meet people's ambitions. in terms of brex
