Our whistle-stop tour heads to the South East, where the Tories and Labour are fighting it out and two minor parties have everything at stake.

Dominic Raab MP: Farage himself says that UKIP “isn’t passing the credibility test”. Here’s why he’s right.

A double-talking, flip-flopping, party of spendthrifts will aggravate – not salve – public mistrust of the political class.

By Dominic Raab MP | 15 February 2015 | 152 comments

Daniel Hannan MEP: As Bashir signs up to the Conservatives, don’t knock defectors – whichever party they join or leave

The parties these great men abandoned behaved in the same idiotic way that ours did over Mark Reckless, or that UKIP is now doing over their departed MEP.

Andrew Gimson’s PMQs sketch: Sir Peter Tapsell shows the House how it is done

Andrew Gimson’s PMQs sketch: white van man becomes the arbiter of politics

We got Shakespeare driving a white van, or at least commenting on one, but he was trumped by an MP who actually has white vans in his family.

From Reggie to Dessie: My Pale, Male and Stale plan to interview prospective leadership candidates

Of course our efforts at Rochester weren’t helped by the glitches in the new CCHQ computer “Darth Vader”.

By Reggie | 26 November 2014 | 2 comments

Ali Miraj: What’s driving voters to UKIP? Muddy policy and an absence of authenticity

Westminster should ditch the focus group-driven platitudes. At least with Farage, whether you like him or not, you know where he stands.

By Ali Miraj | 23 November 2014 | 85 comments

WATCH: Reckless gives his victory speech

“If you vote UKIP you get UKIP”

21 November 2014 | 13 comments

What does the Rochester and Strood result mean?

The hopes and fears of would-be defectors. The position of the Tory Whips. The complex internal tensions within UKIP. And Miliband’s ongoing disaster.

By Mark Wallace | 21 November 2014 | 211 comments

WATCH: Mark Reckless votes in the Rochester by-election

But will the former Tory MP triumph for his new party? The result will be announced in the early hours.
