Everyone’s making the same UKIP joke and who can blame them

Henry Bolton is refusing to step down as leader of UKIP despite everyone else in his party – all 10 of them – telling him he must go.

Which led to everyone making the same joke about UKIP – and who can blame them?

1.

Ukip members had a vote, realised they’d made a mistake and now want to change their minds.
Seems perfectly reasonable.

The irony about Ukip is that they had a democratic leadership vote in September, and now they are trying to reverse the result. #BoltonMeansBolton

Man with girlfriend whose views drew her inexorably to Ukip cannot lead Ukip because of girlfriend’s views. What a party.

Congratulations to Henry Bolton for managing 115 days as leader of Ukip. For context, Diane James only managed 18.
