Nuttall has the right ideas for UKIP’s future – but his party doesn’t look up to the job

The People’s Army has lost thousands of members, has barely any money and is still beset by infighting.

By Mark Wallace | 28 November 2016 at 1:45 pm | 78 comments

Farage’s Trump card?

Three days on, he is still milking his visit to the President-elect for all it’s worth – and who can blame him?

By Paul Goodman | 15 November 2016 at 6:50 am | 124 comments

Banks moves to launch a competitor to UKIP – threatening to do serious damage to the People’s Army

The concept of a non-party party, standing independents to “clean up politics” has been tried before.

By Mark Wallace | 14 November 2016 at 3:20 pm | 41 comments

Of course Farage should be in the House of Lords

Arise, Lord Farage of Beer.

Woolfe’s departure is a huge loss to UKIP. The Conservative Party should try again to win him over.

Woolfe is talented, likeable and a natural small-c conservative. Hopefully the talks to try to persuade him to join the blues will now reopen.

By Mark Wallace | 18 October 2016 at 3:30 pm | 34 comments

UKIP conference: Farage is gone (for real, this time). James is the new leader. A purge is on the way.

The new leader’s speech was a missed opportunity. And the People’s Army is in danger of complacency.

By Mark Wallace | 16 September 2016 at 4:36 pm | 44 comments

If UKIP won’t do what Banks wants, he could set up a new party that will

The biggest challenge for their new leader will be escaping Farage’s shadow. The second biggest challenge will be keeping their major donor happy.

By Mark Wallace | 8 September 2016 at 2:37 pm | 28 comments

The Faragistes suffered a defeat over Woolfe, but the war for UKIP’s future is far from over

They might yet abolish the NEC in order to get their way.

By Mark Wallace | 15 August 2016 at 4:30 pm | 12 comments

UKIP would struggle to pick a worse moment for civil war

It’s letting Labour off the hook and exposing itself to Conservative counter-attack. Is SNP-style phalanx discipline essential to nationalist success?

By Henry Hill | 6 August 2016 at 7:00 am | 68 comments

Farage may have stepped down, but his supporters still dominate the UKIP machine

Yet another faction fight is being won by a combination of rulebook brutality and clumsy errors.

By Mark Wallace | 26 July 2016 at 12:07 pm | 30 comments

After Farage, UKIP is embarking on its fourth age – and one man intends to be its architect

With the departure of their leader, and the Leave victory achieved, the “People’s Army” is turning its eyes to new voters and new messages.

By Mark Wallace | 6 July 2016 at 2:00 pm | 29 comments

Why doesn’t Farage trust his own MEPs?

The party’s two new spokesmen on economics and business are both unelected party officials.

By Mark Wallace | 12 August 2015 at 4:08 pm | 24 comments

In local by-elections since May, UKIP have suffered an average fall of 10.9 per cent in their vote share

They are the only party to have lost vote share in every single ward they have previously contested.

By Mark Wallace | 17 July 2015 at 1:33 pm | 29 comments

UKIP in-fighting intensifies: O’Flynn “is totally inexperienced…A scribbler with a single tier education”

The People’s Army has a long history of knife fights. This one will get more bloody before it is over.

By Mark Wallace | 14 May 2015 at 11:52 am | 61 comments

UKIP’s limp campaign is a victim of mismanaged expectations

The inflated hopes engendered by their 2014 annus mirabilis look set to sour a perfectly respectable result for the People’s Army.
