Quote:
Nigel Farage has systematically lied about an affair with a vulnerable former aide spanning more than a decade, The Mail on Sunday can reveal...

...Within the party, however, knowledge of the relationship appears to have been widespread. One MEP, speaking on condition of anonymity, said: 'It wasn't just a fling or a one-night stand – he was thinking about leaving his wife for her. I have spoken to Nigel about the relationship in the past and know Annabelle and Nigel were still involved sexually until late last year.

'Everyone in the party knew they were having an affair.'

It is also a relationship starkly at odds with Ukip's consistent promotion of family values.

Naughty Nigel. This will just probably just increase his popularity with the UKIP nutters.

He (and Bozza) would be better spending their energies helping with the harvest with the farmers in Cornwall, whose crops are rotting because of a massive drop in migrant workers since the vote. Or helping out as volunteers at their local hospital until that £350m a week comes through....:rolleyes:

Quote:
Nigel Farage is in talks about returning to frontline British politics with the launch of a new pro-Brexit movement if Ukip’s leader Henry Bolton is forced to resign.

Farage has spoken to friends, including his financial backer Arron Banks, about forming a breakaway party if Bolton, 54, loses a vote of confidence today at a special meeting of Ukip’s national executive committee.

Banks and Farage met for dinner to discuss the plans on January 11, only a few days after the committee began an investigation into Bolton’s private life. ..

...Farage has said there is “no chance” he will return as Ukip leader. But he has been invited to become president of the new movement, with Banks lined up to be its chairman. Richard Tice, a property developer and co-chairman of the Leave Means Leave campaign group, is also expected to be offered a role.

A source close to Farage said: “Nigel has always said he would be prepared to don khaki and head back to the front line if there is any chance Brexit will not be delivered and that now looks like a very real threat.”

It is understood that an announcement on the new movement, which does not yet have a name, could be made as soon as this week if Ukip loses its fourth leader in 16 months. The organisation is expected to be modelled on the structure of the Conservative Party with local associations around the country to give the movement a reach that Ukip lacks. Focus groups have been convened to determine what kinds of policies will appeal.

Margot Parker has resigned as UKIP deputy leader and called for Henry Bolton to step down as leader.

The resignation came after the party's national executive committee backed a vote of no confidence.

Mr Bolton has left the party in "limbo" and he should go "sooner rather than later", she told BBC Radio Northampton.

The party's immigration spokesman, John Bickley, has also now quit his role. Mr Bolton has been under fire over texts sent by his former girlfriend.

Meanwhile at UKIP High Command:

Quote:
UKIP is refusing to pay scandal-hit leader Henry Bolton a penny in salary in a bid to oust him by penury.

The move by the anti-EU party’s top panel to “starve” him out leaves their boss penniless, as he has no other form of income.

The revelation comes after a vicious party civil war deepened yesterday when 16 out of 24 frontbench spokesmen walked out on Mr Bolton.

In extraordinary scenes, he again refused to resign despite bosses’ no confidence vote against him on Sunday after his scandalous fling with racist 25-year-old model Jo Marney.
Source

Farage on R4 Today this morning:

Quote:
"If an EGM (extraordinary general meeting) was held tomorrow, Henry Bolton would lose it very heavily," he said.

"Of that there is no question. But he has a month to make the case and he has the microphone because he now has a huge profile, maybe not for all the right reasons.

"If he is able, in the space of a month, to put together a new constitution and a new management structure that shows the leader needs to be able to lead and not be held back by a failed organisation, he may just win the day."

UKIP facing financial ruin over East Yorkshire MEP's £670k libel legal fees

The party has been ordered to foot some of the £670,000 bill for Jane Collins

The fallout from an East Yorkshire MEP’s libel case could leave UKIP on the brink of financial ruin after a shock High Court ruling.

UKIP has been ordered to pay their share of the £670,000 in legal fees and costs after Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire MEP, Jane Collins, was ruled to have libelled three Labour MPs .

Mr Justice Mark Warby ruled on Thursday, February 15, that “UKIP should pay the claimants’ costs from March 20, 201, to June 23, 2015, and their costs of the assessment” – a sum which Labour sources say could be as high as £200,000.

UKIP are known to be struggling financially, with beleaguered leader Henry Bolton saying another leadership contest – in what would be their fourth in less than three years – could bankrupt the party.

And only last week, John Bickley, the party’s treasurer, wrote that the party had been “living hand to mouth since 2015” and explained that its finances were under great pressure.

Snowflake Bolton is melting under the pressure again, whinging about his press coverage.
As famous as a Blackpool burger bar, Ukip leader Henry Bolton is now claiming that "There's probably been nothing like that since the Profumo affair or Diana and Dodi al Fayed"
Bless him.

UKIP members have voted to sack leader Henry Bolton after controversy over racist messages sent by his partner.

The former army officer's fate was decided after 63% voted to back a no confidence motion at an extraordinary general meeting in Birmingham.

He had faced calls to quit after it emerged his partner Jo Marney sent racist messages about Meghan Markle.

The party will announce an interim leader later and an leadership election will take place within 90 days.

Mr Bolton, who had been in the job for less than six months, was elected in September in the wake of UKIP's disastrous performance in last year's general election.

The party's national executive committee expressed no confidence in him last month, triggering the ballot.

Outgoing chairman Paul Oakden said: "Henry Bolton has been removed by the democratic decision of the membership".

Mr Bolton lost the no confidence motion by 867 votes to 500.
They've gone through 6 leaders in 16 months (Nige served twice).

Time to close it down, the parties aims were achieved, leaving the EU.

Exactly. I am concerned about her achieving a proper Brexit. And Boris should stop his snidey remarks about Farage. Without Farage, we would necer have had a referendum.

St Boris told me he considers the needs and feelings of many people - "me", "myself" and "I". :)

Guess it depends on what the Brexit Party does. If that ceases to exist then UKIP may continue to find a niche.

Only as an extreme right wing party. The Brexit question will have been sorted once and for all by November. Brexit is the only reason they managed to get such a following.

Didn't Dick Braine stand for the leadership, it's almost as if they've thrown their hat in with the rest of us and are now mocking themselves
