That’s right – in the political transfer window, Dr. Peter Gammons went from the Brexit Party to UKIP on a free, and these five perfect responses were virtually inevitable.

Dr Peter Gammons has joined a party led by Dick Braine. This is not a joke, it is merely a fact. https://t.co/qVIlZCns2p

Fair: Normal names.
Not Fair: when UKIP actually trolls itself with names like that. pic.twitter.com/AZuaFLpjLj

Ffs, I was halfway through writing my satirical debut novel about a UKIPper named Keith Gammon and now reality has gone and stolen my idea.

Like many of us, @prkirkley wondered who else might be planning to join UKIP.

So they've got Dick Braine and Peter Gammons. Paging Ray Cist, Lil Englander, Gerry Atric and, er, Alan Massivetwat. https://t.co/wnq4jwMm1z
