politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Another female UKIP leader is set to do a tribute to Lady Jane Grey as rumours swirl Diane James has quit as UKIP leader after just 18 days

John Stevens is The Daily Mail’s Bruxelles correspondent, so this appears to be a well sourced story. After Suzanne Evans’ memorably short stint as UKIP leader, could Nigel Farage about to be the comeback kid, again.

Read the full story here

Jonathan · October 2016

UKIP WTF.

FrancisUrquhart · October 2016

Second....the Number of weeks the ukip leader lasted.

dr_spyn · October 2016

may the farce be with you.

Sandpit · October 2016

4th party leadership election this year?

Scott_P · October 2016

I was first, but like Diane James I resigned almost immediately...

EDIT. Oh.

@DMcCaffreySKY: NEW: Looks like @DianeJamesMEP is on verge of resigning as UKIP leader due to her husbands ill health. More to follow.

Malmesbury · October 2016

Doesn't she realise that it is rude to try and be more disorganised than Labour? The Labour Party has spent *years* on their current chaos....

Scrapheap_as_was · October 2016

farage-time... took a little longer than the last lady kipper leader...

surely not true??

Sandpit · October 2016

Carswell on a train to Birmingham tomorrow?

MarkHopkins · October 2016

Wow. How do UKIP up with all these changes?

TheScreamingEagles · October 2016

I've just stuck in the most appalling pun in PB history.

foxinsoxuk · October 2016

Is she on the way to Birmingham for 30 pieces of silver (and a safe seat) ?

Speedy · October 2016

What ?
See wants to resign as leader of her political party because she had a row at a cafe ?

Is she so sensitive ?

Scott_P · October 2016

@GuardianAnushka: So if Diane James is quitting - Steven Woolfe can submit his application on time and Suzanne Evans appears to be a member again.

DavidL · October 2016

Is this just in case Theresa was feeling any pressure from anywhere? It is very easy to laugh at the Americans (and I do) and their truly terrible choice but our own politics is completely dysfunctional at the moment.

Scrapheap_as_was · October 2016

I think she is trying to outdo Big Sam Allerdyce in terms of longevity.....and succeeded.

Seriously, I couldn't understand why Paul Nuttall wasn't the anointed leader post Farage. Am I missing something......has he got Chukka sized skeletons lurking somewhere......he just seems to be the perfect fit for a UKIP that wants to challenge Labour in it's heartlands. He is the leader Labour would be terrified of.

He didn't get his money down on time. There was also the matter if not declaring a previous criminal conviction.

Poor husband. He is being blamed for everything.

Perhaps after getting his life back, Farage discovered that he didn't like it much so decided to get his job back.

Sliding Gerber dates from 1936... terribly new fangled! But still the best way to call for a slam as it allows for more asks than Blackwood.

An 11-12 WNT open is great for frustrating an opponent though

I wonder which UKIP planner came up with the idea of how they should sabotage the Tory conference this year.

Why leave as leader of a major political party to join as a small functionary in another major political party ?

A pint of wine in a chinese? Dreadful if true. There were a group of us in the late 1980s who used to meet up in a curry house in Westminster and we would be served "Bull's Blood", a bulgarian wine, by the pint. Everything seemed to work out OK.

I don't know, he could stand for the UKIP leadership though, I think this time he is eligible since it's been more than 2 years that he is in UKIP.

Let's face it, Cameron was UKIP's principal recruiting sergeant. Many Kippers - however misguidedly - will see May as one of there own and will flood to the Tories. I suspect the UKIP leadership have realized this and know their time is up.

A party with 0.15% of MPs, 0.37% of Lords and 2.37% of Councillors is a "major party"?

More chance of holding office as a Tory than UKIP leader.

I detect Farage's fingerprints all over this. Being Trump's court jester wasn't all it was cracked up to be. He wants to be idolized on his own shores again.

Philip_Thompson · October 2016

surbiton said:

I think the only reason he hasn't quit is that at the moment Carswell is basically a glorified independent MP responsible to no whip but with the trimmings of being the sole MP in a party that means he can get media attention any time he wants it.

If for some reason someone was able to stamp authority on UKIP I think Carswell would quit. Right now he's laughing and has no need to.

Being a First Past the Post nation makes that moot. We've just voted to lose our only PR Parliament. Besides I suspect that is not true anymore I suspect.

Mr. Charles, my original comment was about openings, not slam systems. I hoped you would have picked up on the fact from my response. I did after all ignore your references to Blackwood and Gerber.

I suppose that there are still some who seek the slam above all else but ,in my experience, in rubber or competition tables, they will come out the losers.

The Norman 4NT is superior to both Blackwood and Gerber . Competition depends on whether scoring is MPS , IMPS or Teams as to whether Slams are of great importance .

Howdy, Stranger!
