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...

If you can, buy the Daily Express today. Though Lord Pearson’s article can be viewed online, it doesn’t do it justice. Almost a full page, the article is coherent, calm and extremely positive in terms of setting out UKIP’s stall for the General Election. The fact that Pearson spends...

I can quite understand where Lord Pearson, under orders from then-Party Leader Nigel Farage, was coming from. UKIP was founded on the principle of withdrawing Britain from the European Union and that has been far and away the main policy and objective of the Party ever since. However, as a relatively...

So it is Lord Pearson who is the new leader of UKIP, winning some 48% of the vote the Party’s members. What does this mean for UKIP? Well Pearson has a credible profile in Westminster as one of the top critics of the European Union. He has a lot of contacts within the Tory Party still and David...

The Better Off Out pledge requires that sitting MPs who publicly endorse the fact that Britain would be better outside of the EU, require a free run from UKIP in their constituencies. I have changed my stance on this, from being a firm supporter of the BOO pledge to more of a sceptic. After all, where...

One thing I think people are missing regarding the likely appointment of Tony Blair as the permanent President of the European Union: forget who is going to take the role for a minute, just where is the scrutiny for such a role even existing? If Blair does get the post as I believe he will, it will have...

Yes you heard it here first; there are moves underway by several MEPs to block a Tony Blair EU Presidency because the man just isn’t committed to the EU as they are. Five MEPs, Jorgo Chatzimarkakis, Robert Goebbels, Jo Leinen, Klaus-Heiner Lehne and Herbert Reul don’t want Blair as the President...

As the battle of Lisbon looks to be drawing to a close, Nigel Farage has been mixing it up on behalf of UKIP in a round-table BBC debate with MEPs from the three other main parties. Say what you will but Nigel is the best in the business at this sort of thing. Watch for the LibDem who squirms like a...

William Rees-Mogg today pens a piece in The Times which poses, probes, and is a damn good read for all who are interested in the United Kingdom’s relationship with the European Union. Even those who are pro-EU would get something out of reading it, to my mind. What a contrast to the immature, cowardly...

A very interesting debate held between Michael O’Leary and Declan Ganley on Irish TV can be viewed here. How refreshing it is to see issues revolving around the EU being debating on television. Wouldn’t it be great to see the same in this country?

A company by the name of TNS has covered out an assessment of the press coverage given to the “yes” and “no” sides of the Lisbon Treaty referendum campaign. Perhaps unsurprisingly, their findings show that the “yes” side are being given far more exposure. 46% of Lisbon-related...

The Conservative party have their eyes fixated on Number 10, but they have just as much reason to fear UKIP as the Labour party do. News today that another Tory Councillor has defected to UKIP in Preston is a welcome boost to the party who have been making considerable inroads in local elections. David...

Tremendous coverage for the UKIP team here in East Anglia of which I am lucky enough to be a part of. Notice how seriously we are now being taken in regards to taking Westminster seats, only because we are now getting success at a local level with people like the brilliant Pete Reeve. Watch the coverage...

The many hordes of pro-”yes” politicians are getting very worried. Irish European Minister Dick Roche accused UKIP of coming from a neo-fascist genepool, and today pro-Lisbon Irish MEPs warn that ” a no vote is not an option”. Interesting. This is, after all, what they said first...

The news that David Cameron is failing to make strides in the north of England is very interesting, as it shows yet again why UKIP is uniue in British politics. While the Green party and BNP have tiny hotspots of support (as demonstrated by the fact they only have two MEPs a piece), the Tories and Labour...

Harry has already done an amazingly good job of putting forth my own feelings on Nigel Farage stepping down as Leader, but I felt I need to do a short piece  myself regardless. Nigel is the guy that made me want to be actively involved in politics. What he says, and how he says it, is what inspired...
