Is anyone interested in who'll be the next UKIP leader? Apparently the favourite, Dianne somebody, isn't giving interviews and keeping a low-profile confused

I've just watched Farage's farewell speech, followed by Douglas Carswell on The Daily Politics, and interviews with party members.

It's like the Rocky Horror Show grin

They seemed the soft side of the National Front grin

The Daily Mail said he was fighting for his life earlier but he's now happily OK.

Just heard Nigel Farage described on Radio 4 as 'the hokey-cokey leader' In, out, in, out ..... made me smile anyway.

From the Guardian

Woolfe was alleged to have been confronted by Hookem – the party’s defence spokesman, who served in the RAF and Royal Engineers – during the meeting. Hookem is understood to have said “a few choice words” to Woolfe about defecting to the Tories.

“Steven Woolfe has then taken his jacket off, walked over and said: ‘Right you, outside now’ or words to that effect,” a source close to the party told the Guardian. “They went outside and Steven Woolfe got the brunt of it.”

It is understood that Woolfe struck his head but walked away from the alleged altercation at about 10am, and appeared well enough to vote in the parliament half an hour later. However, he left midway through the vote and collapsed on a walkway at about 12.30pm.

What an amazing year for politics this has been, whoever would have thunk it?
