I think the UKIP party will be back with a bang. The story was that 'she' didn't have the support of the whole party.

But we need a party that will tackle everything for the working class of this Country. As the Labour Party will never win an election. As it is the public vote and NOT a party vote that will sort out Corbyn

I hate to burst you bubble Arthur but UKIP have only one MP and their MEPs will soon be out of a job.They barely have a presence in Parliament. They are basically a one cause party and now they have achieved their aim I don't see any consolidation especially now that most of their aims have now been adopted by the Conservatives..

In your best Lionel Richie voice: You're once, twice, three times a leader. :D

Legally, I don't think he ever actually stopped being leader.

Party sources told the Huffington Post earlier Wednesday that the forms submitted by James after she was elected UKIP leader were not valid. She is believed to have signed the forms but written “under duress” on them, rendering them void.

The electoral commission said in a statement published Wednesday that “UKIP submitted paperwork … notifying us of a change in their leadership.” But the form “had not been processed as we had questions for the party regarding the completion of the form,” it added.

UK Independence Party leadership candidate Raheem Kassam has pulled out of the race just three days after the official launch of his campaign.


The former aide to leader Nigel Farage said he was not "satisfied about the integrity of the process".


He added: "It is a decision I have not taken lightly, but following meetings this weekend I realised the path to victory is too narrow."

Keith Chegwin is definitely is going to run I hear. Should be a formality for Cheggers, he's vastly more talented than then other candidates.

He got caught out early on with the history of his Twitter feed. The abusive Trumpian style comments are less successful in the UK.

Re: UKIP has (had) a new leader
 
How long before Farage needs to come back? This guy seems a bit off the rails:

His site claimed he had lost close friends as Hillsborough but then denied it: http://www.irishtimes.com/news/world...alse-1.2975604

He has previously claimed to be a professional footballer when he wasn't:https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/236899...ler-on-his-cv/

So now he has deleted this website: https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/287762...ough-disaster/

and didn't turn up to hustlings: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk...-a7583386.html

It's bizarre....

Some say it's just the inevitable result of not being as accomplished at lying, spinning and cheating as those political parties which have had hundreds of years practice... ;)

Doesn't take a political genius to work out you don't lie about something so easily verifiable. What's the point? Someone will look it up and it's just wrong. It's not like fudging a statistic or spinning a story to make yourself look better. Besides UKIP are hardly new at this point.

It's still not clear if he was at Hillsborough either. Don't really want to call someone a liar on that charge without definitive proof though.
