With the General Election fast approaching, Nigel Farage will be on Question Time this week from Middlesbrough. Question Time can be seen live on Thursday at 10.35pm on BBC One. It is repeated on BBC Parliament at 6pm on Sunday. UKIP Chairman Paul Nuttall was on Radio 4’s Any Questions on Friday...

And now for those of us who waited before attacking the party for the so called “burka” policy, here you go. Good, reasonable policy in my opinion, maybe a tad controversial but I can see the reasoning, pity the media reported it so much as a “burka” issue http://www.ukip.org/content/ukip-policies/1444-ukip-and-face-coverings The...

A lot happens ina  very short time I havent posted in a while on this and whilst ive been away my conviction to support the UKIP cause has doubled. Labour have sold out Northern Ireland, they have done so much harm to unionism in Northern Irealnd in recent years via both Blair and Brown but now they...

Somebody please kick me in the shin to make me feel better! A transaction tax on banks would raise as much as $400bn a year (£250bn; 291.2bn euros), campaigners have said. Supporters say money raised could help protect public services and jobs, fight poverty and tackle climate change. The campaign...

Nigel Farage on usual fine form telling a little fable to the Strasbourg Plenery…

We now have a leader to unite behind (who I for one believe in, an honest politician is a dangerous weapon!). We have success at the last election to build upon. We now an experienced campaign manager, an improved ICT team and other recent appointments throughout the party to help us in our fight. We...

I read this interview and I thought Lord P, who many people are very hard on but I have total respect for spoke very well.  http://www.totalpolitics.com/magazine_detail.php?id=728 The new leader of the United Kingdom Independence Party tells Iain Dale he is a reluctant leader, admits he makes gaffes...

More in despair than anger, I see UKIP Leader Lord Pearson has called for the Burka to be banned in Britain. The UK Independence Party is to call for a ban on the burka and the niqab — the Islamic cloak that covers women from head to toe and the mask that conceals most of the face — claiming they...

This story caught my eye this afternoon. I have to say I fully support the sentiments of the common sense member of the public… Police officers filmed using riot shields to sledge down a snowy hill while on duty have been reprimanded. Mr Latham said they were only there for a few minutes and praised...

I think its about time this party wised up.  We are a small party that reply on a team of incredibly dedicated members,  we may not have the numbers of our opponents but the effort some of the ordinary put into making this party a success is unreal. I have my view on the situtation and personally...

News that UKIP’s number of Councillors on Huntingdon District Council are to double after another Tory defection is fantastic news. The superb Cllr Pete Reeve will be joined by Cllr Andy Monk who has proudly proclaimed that “UKIP strongly champions the local community and is the real voice...

Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? and again Why? Obligatory quotas for the number of women put forward for selection as a parliamentary candidate by each political party have been proposed. A cross-party conference chaired by Speaker John Bercow, acknowledged that its suggestion would be controversial. Controversial?...

Yes, you heard me. Not a statement of fact by me, but a response to an article in the guardian by Timothy Kirkhope MEP. He talks, perfectly legitimately and correctly, as far as it goes that the Tory move out of the EPP into the ECR has not diminished, but has enhanced, their influence. This is all fine...

If the Times is to be believed it would seem Cameron is running scared of a certain Mr Nigel Farage… Mr Bercow — who, despite being a Conservative, owed his victory to a well-organised campaign by Labour MPs — has repaired relations with Mr Cameron. The Tory leader has made clear to party members...

Apparently some bright spark in our federal government (that’s the EU, by the way) has come up with this blinding idea… Europe is making moves to give British MEPs the ‘right’ to sit in the House of Commons at certain times in the year. I told you it was a blinder. But, er, why,...

Wishing all Independence Home readers a very merry Christmas, wherever you are, and a prosperous new year!
