Nuttall still keeps digging that hole ever deeper !

[Samjenko]

Nuttall's useless. Fancy letting a filthy old groper, like Marr, who hid behind injunctions throw smear after smear at you without retaliating.

Incidentally mikey, word is we won't have any MP's soon.

[ichkeria]

Digging and barrel scraping are part of the same thing.
Like it or not Nuttall is finished more or less before he started. But ukip is in such a state that I doubt it matters much whether he stays or goes.

[mikey4444]

Ichy is right...what possible difference does it make if UKIP allow Nuttalll to stay and continue with his fantasist stories ?.....UKIP are dead in the water.

All we are seeing now is the death throws.

[-Talbot-]

Throes ... mikey.

[Gromit]

UKIP has three main problems:
1. It is of no relevance post brexit.
2. It is not really a party, just a personality cult of Mr Farage. UKIP without Farage is nothing.
3. Its popularity has never transferred to ballot box success. It has one MP who fought as the incumbant member. Who looks like leaving (or being pushed) in the not too distant future.

A very sensible letter today in the Daily Mail from a Stuart Bower.He was a UKIP activist in the Hove area.He basically says UKIP were a one issue party and that having succeeded in their aim of winning the referendum vote they should now has he purs it "pick up their demob suits" and leave Mrs May and her government to get on with the negotiations.

[grumpy01]

should have said as he puts it.

[youngmafbog]

You could just as well be talking about labour.

How come you dont put up posts about labours very big issues?

UKIP's only real issue is that they have achieved what they set out to do so now they have no purpose. Which also happens to be one of the big reasons labour is struggling.

[Old_Geezer]

The aim was to achieve Brexit not just win the referendum. One doesn't disband after the first hurdle and hope others will finish the job.

[ichkeria]

UKIP were a curious phenomenon really. Very English in a lot of ways (the name was always very inappropriate). Despite being utterly dysfunctional, their hobbyhorse suddenly became a popular issue, tho without Farage at the helm I doubt they'd have made much of it.
A bit like a bumbling relative who wins the lottery and blows it all :-)

[mikey4444]

Throes it is then Talbot !

Now that UKIP have lost their major source of funds, I can't see how they can continue in any real way now.

Because there is already a loyal team of Theresettes doing so every day?

As far as Ukip is concenred, it seems Nuttall is the mess: they might have scraped a win in the last by-election with a reliable leader, but Nuttall was regularly being exposed as economical with the truth. His predecessor I think quit after a couple of weeks. I doubt they have any potential leadership material left.

[mikey4444]

jno....I think that Farage should put any plans to be an auxiliary bum-licker to the Court of the POTUS on hold for the time being, as he will shortly be needed to step into the brink yet again.

[Dinapal]

Farage better watch his back then as your ex leader is trying to worm his way into Trump Court via Trump's son in law.!!

[Khandro]

As it's such a small party, with only one MP and he is at loggerheads with the previous leader, in today's political order of things, it all being so trivial, why does it bother you so much? is it just, yet another person for you to scorn and hate?

[mikey4444]

Khandro....I have been heaping ridicule on UKIP and its idiot Members and supporters for a long time now, and as long as the Party struggles along, so shall I !

Perhaps I should remind you, and others, that Nuttall was widely predicted to win the Stoke By-Election.

[youngmafbog]

Not by me Mickey.

[youngmafbog]

//idiot Members//

More insults. No real argument then?

[mikey4444]

YMB...,hardly an insult that hasn't been used many, many times before !
