Ukip

My job in Brussels lay with the UK Independence Party (UKIP), meaning Nigel Farage (who stepped down as UKIP leader in 2016 –ed.).

Asked whether it was Ukip entryism, he replied: “The truth is I am the one and only single activist from Ukip to have joined the Conservative party in Beaconsfield.

Henry, a Unison union black workers' group member, told Socialist Worker, "They were trying to steal a march on Ukip when Ukip was stealing a march in them.

UKIP were initially the main opposition party with 16 councillors, but now have only 10 after the others broke away to form a new party, UKIP Lincolnshire.

Aides for Matt Hancock asked if they could 'lock up' former UKIP leader 'pub hooligan' pandemic, leaked WhatsApp messages show.

Braverman has not used the word “swarm” on record, but it has been used by prominent politicians including former Prime Minister David Cameron and former UK Independence Party (Ukip) leader Nigel Farage.

The former Ukip leader said he obtained a report by the prestigious private bank’s reputational risk committee.

The pun, obviously, being that Farage is most famous for his role pushing Vote Leave, advocating the departure of the UK from the European Union as former leader of UKIP and the Brexit Party.

The second time former actress Danielle Harold said it was a "sight for sore eyes" as she stumbled upon the naked former UKIP leader taking a bath.

While the Tories held this seat (and lost two others to Labour and the Lib Dems), it was reassuring that the ‘ interplanetary space warrior’ candidate ‘Count Binface’ won more votes than UKIP and than Jeremy Corbyn’s older brother Piers.

A former leading member of Ukip has endorsed a Black Country Conservative candidate at next month's election.

Another related case is Alistair McConnachie, who had been UKIP’s organiser in Scotland at the same time as Harper.

But several have, including UKIP, the Liberal Party and (which has now been subsumed into Peterborough First).

In 2016 seven Ukip AMs – as was – were elected.

Initially standing as an independent candidate for his local council after leaving Labour, Mr Ward later joined UKIP in 2013, serving as the chair of his local party branch.

Mr Farage has long distanced himself from Robinson, having quit his UKIP party in 2018 after Robinson was admitted as a member.

Notwithstanding, it’s worth observing that parties of the far right, and the far left for that matter, do have a tendency to splinter, as UKIP demonstrated.

The former UKIP and Brexit Party leader said he had changed his mind after spending time on the campaign trail, adding he did not want to let his supporters down.

The ironic thing is when Nigel was in UKIP, he had a real trouble with the national executive committee, so I'm surprised he's done this,' he added.

There is no doubt that Ukip had a huge influence in paving the way for Brexit, but it never managed to become a serious force in Parliament, and Farage famously failed seven times to get himself elected as an MP.
