Great to see that Bolton's continuing the Farage legacy of old men with big mouths propping up fragile egos with young women.

UKIP becoming a laughing stock
they know there finished
Our popular local(or so he thought) Ben Glazier in t hamlets thought he had the following
but found to his cost that people change quite quickly.
voting him in on the UKIP ticket when they had a little support.
more recently in a by election the soundly rejected him
sounds like hes already given up winning his district seat

Considering how the Labour vote dominates this ward it is quite an achievement for a non Labour candidate to be elected in the first place, he seems to have been a good councillor so far.

I think he got in on the UKIP ticket when they had a little following
that has all but been wiped out
which his close geezers accept hes on way out

Nigel Farage has praised Henry Bolton, Ukip’s latest leader, for finally hitting the headlines after his affair with a 25-year-old model. The MEP turned local radio presenter today held a meeting with Michel Barnier to tell Europe’s lead Brexit negotiator why voters chose leave the EU. Mr Farage, 53, who separated from his wife amid reports of affairs with younger women, could not resist commenting on Ukip’s newest leader, who has only risen to public prominence, after months in the job, because of his personal life. “It is up to him what he does. At least he is being talked about now,” he said.
Mr Bolton, 54, who was elected as Ukip’s leader in September, left his wife and spent Christmas with Jo Marney, a party member who is less than half his age. Mr Farage hinted that Mr Bolton was finally doing something right. “Here’s a chap with a distinguished career, decorated for bravery in the police, won an OBE and was employed here,” he said. “He is a very likeable bloke but nobody is interested in that. People are now writing about him and they weren’t before. It’s very, very difficult to get voted for if nobody has ever heard of you before.”
After a 40-minute meeting that he requested with Mr Barnier, Mr Farage said that the EU still did not understand why Britons had voted for Brexit. “He’s got the view it’s because people have been promised a lot of money for the health service. What he really didn’t understand at all was that open-door immigration within the EU absolute key driver of all of this. He really doesn’t see that,” Mr Farage said.

keef old Farage will be around a long time, probably an ambassador for Trumpisom.
UKIP was a movement for change, and change we have, all be it small ?
still lots of room for a third party .

Poor old Henry. New job, new girl: things were looking up. Now he finds out what she's all about and he's facing the NEC on Thursday:

If she'd only used that irony emoticon, things would have been OK.
'Obsessed with race' indeed.
Still, great to see the Royalist, racist Mail in a spin.

Epic fail on Henry's part. Looks like the tits have gone tits up!
Should have followed the old maxim 'never sleep with anyone crazier than yourself'. It's always worked for me.
So glad my own mid-life crisis only involved expensive drug habit and purchase of a Harley.

Having studied the Daily Fail's report, photos, pseudo screen-shots of her texts and the embedded video I can conclude a favourable point for Jo Marney: she is able to walk with trousers on. That's it.
Unwittingly, it would appear to me that Henry Bolton has foregone all of his impressive background, torn up his CV and instead decided to stake his reputation on his judgment of appraising the quality of a younger woman's ability to walk with trousers on.
Just because you don't take an interest in politics doesn't mean that politics won't take an interest in you. PERICLES.

She sounds like quite a catch for Henry but after all is said and done it is about time for another leadership contest. I bet that mad Irish woman is kicking herself now for starting her own party.

One hears her bar bill at the Clifton Hotel in Folkestone (which forms the backdrop in some of the photographs) is a wonder to behold.
(I could add that the bar staff were surprised that one so young needed so much 'lubrication', but I won't, since it is merely a crude double-entendre put in for comedic effect and might offend some readers.)"Shall we go, you and I, while we can? Through the transitive nightfall of diamonds"

He was a bit of a "gissajob" anyway, wasn't he? Police and Crime Commissioner, then Lib Dem candidate. Maybe it was only UKIP that would have him. I'm sure they'll sort it out in their time-honoured fashion with a damn good punch up.

UKIP down to one councillor in Shepway after Suzie Govett who was campaign manager for Henry in the PCC election and press aide when he stood for leader switches to being an independent due to Henry's naughty behaviour.

I read that they've (the Council, not UKIP) decided to ditch "Shepway" because no-one knows where it is. Folkestone and Hythe will be the new name apparently. A budget of £10,000 has been allocated. Good fun, eh?

Another one bites the dust.
http://www.jonathanarnott.co.uk/2018/01/statement-on-my-resignation-from-the-uk-independence-party/
Jonathan Arnott, UKIP MEP, resigns his party membership, but not his seat (surprise, surprise). According to Arnott, during the last twelve months UKIP has 'significantly shifted its position on cultural and religious issues' (code for 'become even more rabidly anti-Islam') and is no longer 'a vehicle for achieving positive pressure on the government over Brexit'.

Chris Wells and his fellow Ukippers got elected on the promise of bringing Manston Airport back into use. Surely the voters would have noticed that people in the aviation industry had tried and failed a few times before so what could local politicians know that the experts didn't?
