The BNP have offered UKIP an electoral pact for the next EU elections – an offer which has been refused in no uncertain terms. UKIP member, Buster Mottram, took himself along to tonights National Executive Council (NEC) meeting and told Nigel Farage and the other NEC members that he had been talking to Nick Griffin, [...]

UKIP and the Ind Dem group have produced a new video called “Out of Control: How the EU is costing you the earth”. There are two versions: Low Res (less than 2mbit connection) High Res (2mbit connection or higher) Technorati Tags: UKIP, Climate Change, Video

Stuart Wheeler, one of the Tories’ biggest donors, has brought David Cameron back down to earth with a thud greeting the news that the Tories have just polled 52% in an IPSOS MORI poll compared to Labour’s 24% with a threat that he will defect to UKIP next year if the Tories don’t buck their [...]

UKIP bashers have seized on Nigel Farage’s words at the UKIP conference this week and have decided that he’s no longer a eurosceptic. What he actually said makes perfect sense: I think we have got to change some of the things that we have been saying and some of the things that we have been [...]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – nobody stands a chance of winning a by-election but the Conswervative at the moment. John Howell took 56.95% of the vote and ended up with nearly a 10,000 vote majority. Liebour came fifth and lost his deposit, being beaten by the Illiberal Dumbocrats, the Green [...]

Tom Wise, the independent MEP has been arrested for allegedly obtaining money by deception. Wise was elected as an MEP for UKIP but was expelled from the party last year. The fact he’s now an independent MEP and nothing to do with UKIP hasn’t stopped Illiberal Dumbocrat blogger, Norfolk Blogger, from using the story for [...]

Sarah asked in the comments to this post if UKIP’s MP, Bob Spink, had voted against UKIP party policy and what UKIP members think about it. Well, the answer is yes, he voted against UKIP policy and what do members think about it?  Well, I for one am not happy that he voted for 42 [...]

A motion of no confidence in Nigel Farage and the National Executive Council of UKIP proposed by former PPC, Bruce Lawson, was soundly defeated last night. Lawson, who was responsible for the leak that instigated the Electoral Commission’s investigation into UKIP last year, failed to secure even a third of the votes despite claiming to [...]

That Tory Toff, Iain Dale, he’s a card. Under the title “UKIP: Going nowhere in Crewe” is this picture: The Land Rover there belongs to Councillor Jill Seymour who took time out from running her business with her husband to take the Land Rover from Telford to Crewe to support the UKIP candidate, Mike Nattrass.  [...]

The English Democrats’ candidate in the London Mayoral election, Matt O’Connor, has dropped out of the race. O’Conner was the founder of Fathers 4 Justice and my brief encounter with him a while ago when I tried to talk to him about the dangers of forcing knee-jerk reactions around fathers rights without adding any protection [...]

Dr Bob Spink MP, who resigned from the Conswervatives last month after his local Conswervative Association tried to deselect him, has joined UKIP. UKIP now has one MP, nine MEPs, two Lords and about 30 councillors. It might not seem like much but from little acorns grow mighty oaks. Technorati Tags: UKIP, Conservatives, Bob Spink

Thanks to Arden Forester for the YouTube video of Gerard Batten MEP’s London Mayoral election broadcast.  I missed it earlier as I was attending a UKIP meeting, of all things! Embedded Video Tags: UKIP, London, Election

An industrial tribunal has cleared UKIP MEP, Mike Nattrass, of all charges after a former employee served him with an unfair dismissal claim. The employee had voluntarily changed his employment status to a self-employed contractor.  A breakdown in their professional relationship ensued which apparently resulted in the employee refusing to meet with him.  Mike decided [...]

An attempt by a UKIP member to force a referendum on the EU Constitution has failed. Stuart Bower argued that Article 3 of the Human Rights Act guarantees the right to free elections and that No Mandate Brown has broken a manifesto promise to give a referendum and is therefore guilty of breach of contract. [...]

From the UKIP website …  The President of the European Parliament has moved to crush all opposition to the Lisbon Treaty by Eurosceptic MEPs. Hans-Gert Pottering wants to throw away the rule book to allow him absolute power in refusing to allow points of order, procedural motions and votes by roll call if he thinks [...]

The leader of the Conswervative group on Stevenage Borough Council, Councillor Marion Mason, has defected to UKIP. Councillor Mason says that the best thing for the country is to leave the EU and the Conswervatives won’t offer that choice so the only thing she could do was join UKIP. A steady trickle of Conswervatives are leaving the [...]

I went to a UKIP fundraising dinner last night at Patshull Park near Wolverhampton.  The food was fantastic and the comedian was very funny. The event was hosted by Peter Roberts, the guy who started the petition against road pricing that got 1.8m signatures.  Mike Nattrass, the UKIP MEP for the West Midlands and Nigel Farage, the [...]

Now that it’s been announced at the Conference, I can tell you all the good news – Peter Roberts, the man responsible for the biggest petition against any British government, is standing for UKIP in the next election in … the Telford constituency!  Peter’s petition against the road pricing tax has made him something of a local celebrity and [...]

UKIP will announce an immigration policy at this weeks party conference that will ban all immigration for 5 years, after which time immigration will be allowed again with restrictions on who can come in. This is the kind of immigration policy people have been crying out for for years but none of the parties have [...]

David Cameron, leader of the “eurosceptic” Conservative Party, has answered questions from readers of the Shropshire Star.  One of the questions was as follows: Can you explain why politicians of all major parties think it is a good thing for Britain to be a part of a federal Europe and continue to say it is [...]
