Steven Woolfe MEP leaves Ukip

I watched his interview too, he did seem traumatised .

Not sure he'll get much sympathy on here, but I saw the interview and couldn't help but feel sorry for Mr Woolfe. Obviously a very frightening experience which has left this poor man very tearful and traumatised. UKIP is a mess that's for sure and frankly I hope it dies a death.

UKIP has always been dependent on one man, Farage. Every time he resigns, the party collapses and he has to come back.

I think the problem is that UKIP is a political party of people with widely divergent political views, apart for their desire for Brexit. As a result on every other issue they need to agree on (Education, Health, Defence) to be a party with a future, they completely disagree and divide into factions all fighting each other.

Hopefully they will soon fall apart completely and become history.

Poor old Woolfe, you have to feel sorry for him. Did anyone else get the impression, from what he said, that he had been knocked down, rather than just fell down?

Is there anybody left in UKIP?
Could last one to go turn out the lights?

I think someone else has left since Woolfie. Not sure who, but it was on the early news. Perhaps s/he turned out the lights before he locked the door.

Neil Hamilton is determined to be leader, Farage is determined Hamilton will not be

Good for Farage, then. Hamilton is a creep. Am I allowed to say that?

Yes!!!

Ymlusgo

Farage has been out campaigning for Trump ( fingers odown throat.) Says it all really. Let's hope this is the end of UKIP.

They are all awful people, our local UKIP big noise has just resigned too

Not sure that Wolfe did suffer a bleed on the brain Iam64 I believe I read that it was suspected but he didn't actually have any bleeding on the brain or any clots

Maybe he didn't have a bleed BlueBelle (I didn't check my fact/suppositions) . He did collapse outside immediately after the incident, he had a couple of fits and a few days in hospital.
I agree that Ukip is an awful creation and the fact Farage has been to the US to campaign for Mr Trump says it all as suzied says.
Notooold - he was punched, fell backwards and knocked his head. In an interview this morning, he says he has now reported the incident to the police because his assailant accuses Woolfe of making it all up.

It makes me thankful for Theresa May!

On Newsnight a spokesman from UKIP implied that the altercation (?!) was six of one! Who knows? perhaps who cares?! Hopefully as a party, that's the end of them.

nigglynellie I didn't see Newsnight but I did read they had a row because the assailant (sorry, can't recall his name) was angry that Woolfe talked about possibly defecting to the tories. The argument reached the point where the men agreed to take off their jackets and sort it out, outside. You couldn't make it up, could you. Men elected to represent us in Europe, whose only purpose is to get us out of Europe, being paid large salaries to flounce about like boys at a primary school.

I am no Tory , yes a surprise for some - but Theresa May is the only leader who doesn't make me want to throw things at the tv , not because of her politics but she has dignity

Sturgeon is turning into Miss Trunchbull

Leanne Wood is in lala land

Farron is boring

Farage yuck

Corbyn !

You are so right Iam64, why are we paying exorbitant salaries to such idiots.
UKIP has served it's purpose now it's time to go. Please no more Farrage or Hamilton.

If it comes to Farage or Hamilton, then Farage please what is it

What do you have against Caroline Lucas?

I forgot her , she is peasant and interesting to listen to

I guess you meant pleasant ~lol~. I agree with you.

PS. Sorry to pick you up on the typo, but it amused me.

yes that's a good typo anniebach - I wonder though, what will happen now that Steven Woolfe has made a complaint to the police.
Anniebach, I think we're doomed because I find myself agreeing with you about Theresa May. One of my sisters keeps reminding the other sisters that - "she is a * tory you know".....

How on earth can you forget that Theresa May is a Tory? I agree there isn't much of an alternative, but I suspect she will go down in history as one of the most incompetent PMs ever. Her record as Home Secretary is not positive.

Teresa May does make me want to throw things at the tv and Farage is a monster Johnson an idiot in fact I give up with thevlot of them
