Mildly surprised the latter one has taken this long to be sorted out.
On the other hand, also surprised that having arranged it they didn't save it up for when they'll need some good news.

A UKIP source told the Echo in October: "The future of five councillors is being discussed but the party will follow procedure. "UKIP Lincolnshire is not a name the party will permit for a breakaway group, led by a man who has been booted out of the party." [/quote] Actually what power do they have if the group had decided to continue using it outside of an election?

I also note that both reports use the wording "Nigel Farage's UKIP".
Telling.
[And I'm not referring to number-taking outside polling stations]

it explains why our own Richard left. I just hope from a labour POV he can keep UKIP from imploding until after 2015 :-)

just an interesting tweet from a well known Walsall blogger
Brownhills Bob @brownhillsbob
There's some absolutely ridiculous tittle-tattle circulating in Walsall political circles about large scale defections from Tory to UKIP...

I notice that there is due caution from the blogger. But mentioning it in case there is actually a little substance.

indeed, Bob is a good sort (through abrasive) and he does hear these rumours which I have not.
I could guess at one or two of the names involved and although totally impossible to predict exactly what will happen there I would say it is likely Labour will gain the seats needed to gain control. Especially since the Tory leader called his own govt cuts unfair and unworkable.

Miles Windsor and Trevor England are very kipper-ish names.

By his comments he's been shopping around and UKIP took the bait. Does Mark Senior know of any re selection issues for him?

Trevor is a nice guy, but not the most energetic of canvassers or campaigners: very much in the mould of Robin Rogers who recruited him to the LibDems. So deselection does seem possible.

He claims that the absence of whipping was a key consideration. Which would explain a move to Independent, but UKIP?
