UKIP leader

Betfair has a 60% chance of Labour winning, and a 35% chance of UKIP. Doesn't leave much hope for anybody else.

Good tweets on here.

I find it interesting so little response has been shown as to how posters viewed Labours candidate tweets so I assume he is not seen as putting a foot wrong by some. Either that or there is little to no interest in the by election but more interest in sticking it to UKIP.

I have no words of defence for Paul Nuttall but equally the question is what words of defence is there for the comments made by Gareth Snell?

Anybody who is interested in the by election and the candidates BBC Sunday Politics West Midlands aired a debate last Sunday between the 5 main contenders. You might have watched it but if not it might be of interest, it was hosted by Patrick Burns the usual Sunday Politics Political Editor.

www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b08cw4jn/sunday-politics-west-midlands-12022017

It is obviously on iPlayer and as per the usual format of Sunday Politics the debate is roughly 30 minutes into the show when it goes out to the local regions, hence not everybody will have known it was available.

I've seen the Tweets POGS and I suspect any half-decent candidate would make mincemeat with the Labour candidate in most other constituencies. However, Nuttall is in another league. He might even have got away with it before the referendum, but his claim to be the champion of the decent, honest, anti-establishment '(wo)man on the street' is in tatters, apart from not having anything constructive to say anyway. He's only shown any interest in Stoke to further his own career.

PS. This thread is headed 'UKIP leader' not 'Stoke by-election'. Of course, Gareth Snell has put his foot in it.

Nuttall's website is offline for "scheduled maintenance".
I wonder what will be missing when it returns.

" This thread is headed 'UKIP leader' not 'Stoke by-election'. Of course, Gareth Snell has put his foot in it."

Beg pardon what is your point?

Have you and others not been posting on the Stoke by-election?

Does the OP not mention the Stoke by-election?

So transparent!

dj most things I would imagine.

One good thing has come out of Nuttall's campaign. Farage has actually gone to Europe to do some work. He's had an argument with someone working for Nuttall and gone off in a huff.

You could start your own thread, POGS, about the Stoke by election. Then you can talk all you want about the Labour candidate.

Apparently, Farage has said that he won't campaign in Stoke, because he doesn't like Lisa Duffy, who's co-ordinating the campaign. Nuttall is on his own.

Have you started the new thread yet POGS?

Is that bad news or good news for Nuttall I wonder. What a farce!

As this thread is about Nuttall and he is standing in a by election in the hope of taking the seat from labour why not discuss it ?

Daphne,you mentioned Stoke on this thread tut tut tut

Wind your neck in, annie. I'm tired of your comments directed at me.

'You could start your own thread, POGS, about the Stoke by election. Then you can talk all you want about the Labour candidate."

You are being so transparent, absolutely absurd and to be honest you and yours trying to deflect from the quality of Labours candidate by ' telling me' this thread should not be about the Stoke by-election is beyond preposterous.

Look at the time line of where 'you' started talking about the Stoke by-election and you and yours are just laughable.

'Stoke has been let down by parachuted-in candidates for too long. The last thing the city needs is to fall into the hands of Paul Nuttall, who sees it as a political pawn rather than his home and community. It’s about time Stoke was represented by a true Stokie!'

I could go on and on showing your posts where you post on the Stoke by-election whilst 'telling others' they should not do like wise but I guess you have form in trying to shut down debate over any negative Labour posts.

It's a UKIP thread, Annie, not a let's knock Labour thread.

Talk about 'Do as I say not Do as I do". Bloody cheek.

daphnedil

'Have you started the new thread yet POGS?'

I could put all your posts where you are mentioning the Stoke by-election too! Do you ever read your posts? Have you somehow blanked them out?

Another 'Do as I say not Do as I do' hypocrite.

daphnedil

'Wind your neck in, annie. I'm tired of your comments directed at me.'

Irony or what?

OOH, daphne. We're both hypocrites now. Do you mind being linked with me?
I got a longer rebuttal than you.

Not like you to get so angry, POGS.

durhamjen

You are the gift that keeps on giving.

Not angry love, just can't stand hypocrisy.

"I could go on and on showing your posts where you post on the Stoke by-election whilst 'telling others' they should not do like wise but I guess you have form in trying to shut down debate over any negative Labour posts."

I couldn't care less about shutting down debate over negative Labour posts. Once Annie goes on and on about Corbyn, I just ignore her for a while. That's not shutting her down.
Why is suggesting you start a thread about Labour shutting down debate? It's asking you to START a debate ABOUT Labour.

durhamjen

No thank you

I will carry on if I so wish from your posts and plenty of 'other posters' who have raised the Stoke by-election.

Nuttall most definitely misappropriated EU funds, using EU staff as UKIP staff. This is what the OLAF investigation is about.
Both Lisa Duffy and Lynda Roughley are fulltime EU workers paid for by EU money. As such they are prohibited from working for UKIP in the UK.

Are you sure Lynda Roughley is a full-time EU worker? She also works as a court reporter for the Wirral Globe. I have no idea how she's paid for the work she does for Nuttall.

Perhaps Paul Nuttall 's memory has been damaged by all those years of heading the ball when he was a professional footballer.
