I couldn't have picked her out of a lineup of 1 a few weeks ago, maybe now suzanne evans will get a crack at the top job. At least she has a profile.

Nigel Farage has said tonight: "No, I'm not coming back, I'm retired. Not for ten million dollars."

Blimey...that was quick.
Farage is too busy supporting and advising Trump nowadays isn't he?

I'm wondering if farage was pushed rather then he jumped?

this morning #FaragEGO is on TV being called interim leader.
although technically because james didn't get the paperwork into the electoral commission #FaragEGO never stopped being leader.

now they are talking about Neil Hammilton becoming interim leader, #FaragEGO did not like that suggestion

Neil Hamilton seems to be a puppet worked by his wife....so I wonder if Christine fancies the job, she is over bearing and opinionated enough.

I cant remember a time in Britain where every political party was in such a shambles.

I hate to say it but I agree that at this time the Tories are the only ones who seem to be getting their act together.
May has stepped up to the challenge and despite her being an avid STAY has embraced the fact that we are leaving, and is putting plans in place at last.

This happened a few days ago too...

"...DIANE James has been targeted by a left-wing thug who physically and verbally assaulted her in central London, sources close to the Ukip leader have said.

Sources said Ms James was “spat at and verbally abused” by a young, male left-wing activist in a packed Waterloo Station in the middle of the day.

Ms James was on her way for her first meeting as leader with Ukip’s only MP Douglas Carswell.

She is said to be feeling “traumatised” by the attack..."

Left wing thugs are all over the place in London... and they all think they have the right to act the way they do... they are part of the real nasty party!!!

It's awful that anyone should be physically targeted because of the political views they hold, and the recent murder of Jo Cox must be at the back of their minds when confronted by a nutter...and they come in all shapes, sizes and political persuasions.
