“Nigel always wins” was the iron rule of UKIP in-fighting. But no longer – so he is off.

UKIP’s dominant figure tried and failed to keep his party free of Tommy Robinson’s poison. The worst possible people are taking over at the worst possible time.

By Mark Wallace | 5 December 2018 at 3:51 pm | 103 comments

It’s time the pollsters stopped prompting UKIP as a major party

The former ‘People’s Army’ is struggling to survive, and even what’s left of its poll support could be an overstatement.

UKIP loses Towler, the man who made Farage famous

The lights really are going out all over what’s left of the ‘People’s Army’ – the departure of their communications director leaves them without a single national press officer.

UKIP’s leadership troubles are Farage’s lasting legacy to his Party

To be a tall poppy in UKIP was for many years a dangerous thing – unless your name was Nigel. He left them without a developing new generation.

UKIP’s decline leaves voters concerned about immigration without much of a voice

Corbyn doesn’t care about it, and May’s credibility is weakened by the failure to fulfil the tens of thousands pledge.

UKIP councillor calls for Muslims to be banned from joining Nuttall’s party

The latest embarrassment from UKIP’s Hartlepool campaign comes after Paul Nuttall pivoted his party to focus on Islam.

Exclusive: UKIP candidate registers ‘home address’ at Bed and Breakfast

Phillip Broughton is standing for the Party in Hartlepool, historically one of their electoral strongholds.

By Mark Wallace | 12 May 2017 at 4:59 pm | 11 comments

To duck awkward questions, Nuttall needs a lower profile. We’ve just the garment for him.

Meanwhile, UKIP’s anti-Muslim programme is so transparent a piece of Vice Signalling as to scarcely be worth further comment.

Arron Banks and The Observer have a shared interest in making Brexit all about him

If this odd couple succeed, the millionaire gets to claim he made Brexit happen and the paper gets to imply that Brexit is illegitimate.

By Mark Wallace | 3 April 2017 at 1:00 pm | 59 comments

UKIP is fading because Brexit no longer needs a special party

Contrast with the fate of the Lib Dems: on the right our party system has done its job, but on the left it’s struggling.

By Henry Hill | 26 March 2017 at 2:00 pm | 158 comments

By Mark Wallace | 14 March 2017 at 3:00 pm | 40 comments

Anger on UKIP’s NEC at “weak and wounded” Nuttall

Daggers are drawn yet again, as Arron Banks seeks to take the party over after the Stoke result undermined its leader.

By Mark Wallace | 27 February 2017 at 11:10 am | 69 comments

Nuttall’s nightmare – UKIP’s flawed machine is being found out and the party is losing its purpose

He took a big gamble to get the People’s Army back on the front foot, and lost.

By Mark Wallace | 24 February 2017 at 12:58 pm | 138 comments

Nuttall has had an awful week. But does anyone care?

He and his Party are used to weathering negative coverage – even when it’s true.

By Mark Wallace | 17 February 2017 at 4:10 pm | 106 comments

Will Farage ever give Nuttall the media space to do his job?

He might have got his life back, but he doesn’t seem to want to give up the limelight.
