Fellow London MEP Gerard Batten is apparently campaigning to succeed Nigel Farage as leader of the United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP). The site set up to support him is interesting to say the least. Yesterday there was a post arguing that Gerard Batten’s attempts to cover up fraudulent spending of European Union monies did not matter, [...]

To quote: Nigel Farage has thrown his toys out of his pram, and accused the House of Commons authorities of being "fascistic", after the Commons decided to withdraw Commons passes from serving MEPs. (Iain Dale) Sorry Iain but you are so wrong on this. The BNP are legally elected Ministers whether you like what they say or not, and a lot of people have accepted the fact they were right about...

David Cameron has been deeply dishonest – he knew how his 'cast iron guarantee' on a referendum would be interpreted So it all becomes clear. David Cameron's announcement was in a sense a classic example of the new political dialogue. The politics of the gameshow host. Say anything to ensure you still have an audience next Saturday. What he basically said was this. "You the electorate are...

Conservative MEP's Daniel Hannan and Roger Helmer quit their frontbench posts to concentrate on campaigning for a referendum on Europe after David Cameron said it was pointless to hold a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty now it has been signed. The comments by a French government minister who branded the Tories' new European policy "pathetic" may even help them in the short term polls given...

UKIP Chairman Paul Nuttall announced today that he will be stepping down from the helm after the new Party Leader is elected. Mr Nuttall said he would stay on until the new Leader had, as per Party rules, appointed a chairman of his or her choice. At 32, Mr Nuttall is the youngest-ever UKIP Party Chairman and has tackled the often difficult role with aplomb. He spearheaded this year's Annual Conference...

The verdict on David Cameron's press conference: weak. According to those in the know, all his legal guarantees regarding the sovereignty of British law over EU law are worthless. His promises of repatriation are illegal. His refusal to hold any referendum will mean we lose hundreds of thousands of votes to UKIP and the naughty parties further to the right. Nigel Farage was grinning outside the Westminster...

(Image from Bruges Group website) Nigel Farage and the UKIP Lord Pearson are attacking the Conservatives with all they've got - the accusations of misleading the British public over the status of the Conservatives commitment to a referendum are silly - remember the fuss over the commitment that if the treaty was ratified the Conservatives 'would not let matters rest there'? I wrote about the position...

Just as the former Home Secretary David Davis argues that the Tory party should make a referendum on Europe its first act if elected , there is an interesting poll on ConservativeHome , showing that David Davis - followed by John Redwood or Michael Howard - would be most trusted by the Tory grassroots to lead a renegotiation of Britian's position in Europe. Why? Surely it is because Davis is widely...

Czech President Vaclav Klaus has now signed the Lisbon Treaty, meaning that all member states have completed the ratification process. In these circumstances David Cameron has now said that the Tories will not call a referendum on the Treaty. This post isn't about the rights and wrongs of that decision, but only to note that some sections of the Tory Party (and others) feel very strongly that David...

Well it didn’t take UKIP long. Nigel Farage says: “We can now see how gutless and dishonest the Conservative Party has been about their intentions on a referendum.” Not completely fair, but unless Cameron comes up with a formula that satisfies Hannan et al, he is in trouble… Guido understands that we are going to [...]

Conservative leader David Cameron has been branded "gutless and dishonest" for reneging on a promised referendum on the Lisbon Treaty. The Tory leader told the Royal College Pathologists the party would "do what we can to make good all our promises" but refused to set out what their response would be if the treaty is ratified by all 27 member states before a general election. Cameron...
