People do realise the people in Stoke will be able to change their mind in no more than 3 years time? UKIP are entitled to continue to campaign in Stoke, stand again in Stoke and criticise the now sitting Labour MP. Democracy is ongoing, no one wins forever.

We need to be very careful about how democracy works and as importantly, how it is perceived to be working. The change that's in the air might run away with us; cool heads are required.

Farage seems to want Carswell kicked out over claims he didn't try hard enough, even maybe mocked, attempts to get Farage appointed to the House of Lords or a Knighthood.

Re: UKIP has (had) a new leader

A party like Labour who are in a steepening freefall crisis but that does not mean that the present government is much cop either sadly as all they are is just the best of a awfully bad bunch and that's not saying much.

Arron Banks, who used to be one of the UK Independence Party’s biggest donors, is demanding that Ukip pays him £200,000 for call centre and other services he provided for free.

Mr Banks, who donated £1 million to Ukip before the last general election, has submitted the invoice after he fell out with senior figures in the party and his membership lapsed.

Re: UKIP has (had) a new leader

Ukip’s only MP, Douglas Carswell, has dramatically quit the party, declaring that – after Brexit – it is a case of “job done”.

The Clacton MP will sit as an independent, scotching – for now at least – rumours that he would rejoin the Conservatives.

He won't rejoin the Conservatives, because he has set a personal precedent of resigning and forcing a by election under such circumstances. He doesn't need to do so anyway, he is a Tory in all but name and the Tory whips will be able to count on his vote on all the important issues.

This has been mentioned before and I think it's quite credible.

He is a weasel, always has been in my eyes... I hope has a back up plan for 2020, because he won't keep that Seat IMO.

Staying on as an MP I would suggest, to purely to ride the expenses gravy train.....

Quote:

Since the couple moved in, Mr Carswell has claimed a total of £32,000 in expenses related to the house.

He also owns a property in Hertfordshire, which he rents out. Mrs Carswell sold her flat in south-west London for £500,000 last year.

The MP bills taxpayers for the entire rent of £1,250 per month and £2,280 annual council tax bills for the Essex house.

Since moving in, he has also claimed £1,605 for two sofas and £1,483 for a bed, mattress and chairs from ILVA.

He spent a further £700 for bedding and household extras at Peter Jones and The White Company. Mr Carswell also claimed £453 for a fridge freezer, £400 for a washing machine, £99 for a garden strimmer and bin, and £377 for a radio, telephone, vacuum cleaner, iron and television.

In November 2007, he claimed £429 for four days' worth of gardening.
He also claimed for a range of items bought at Tesco, including a 74p washing line.
