I always hoped they'd make this guy leader, and I'm so disappointed they didn't. Every day would have been like a clown show.

What's with UKIP leaders and Putin? Ok, you love him but surely it's a good idea to keep quiet about it.

Diane James resigns as Ukip leader after only 18 days in role

MEP says in statement she enjoyed the enthusiastic support of members but not party colleagues

Diane James has quit as Ukip leader after just 18 days in the job, saying she had enjoyed the support of members but not party colleagues.

In a sign of the turmoil that has engulfed Ukip since her predecessor Nigel Farage resigned, she said: “It has become clear I do not have sufficient authority, nor the full support of MEP colleagues and party officers to implement the changes I believe are necessary and upon which I based my campaign.”

Citing both personal and professional reasons for quitting, she also said she would continue as MEP for South East England.

She tweeted the statement along with a message of thanks to all supporters who attended her leadership speeches over the summer.
....
However, Farage told the Press Association that he would not return as Ukip leader “for $10 million”. Asked if he’d take $20m, he replied: “No I’m not coming back, I’m retired”.

I'm pretty sure even Farage said that he wanted EU citizens already in the UK to be protected. Maybe I'm wrong :ask:

:lol: Farage is back again!

Nigel Farage declares himself interim Ukip leader

He's apparently stepped in to make sure Neil Hamilton doesn't get the spot. Same old UKIP.

Strange that Neil Hamilton is not mentioned for the leadership. He would attract a certain section of the tory party.

It's reported/speculated that he was punched several times in the face by UKIP MEPs outraged by him reportedly considering defection to the tories. And that he was admitted to hospital with serious bleeding on the brain.

My thoughts are with him. It can't be pleasant having to put up with all those nasty foreign doctors and nurses.
