V.C. : Vi Coactus By A Deeply Untrustworthy Candidate!
When you consider the track record of Diane James, her last minute standown as PPC in the General Election and her deeply suspect CV – Hardly leadership material!
Hi,
Susanne Evans was silenced during the last leadership election
Risibly Lisa Duffy thought she was a suitable candidate
but was hugely outclassed by the inexperienced
& unenthusiastic Diane James!
Steven Wolfe thought he was capable to lead
But failed to declare his criminal conviction
& was too incompetent to fill in his own application
on time! Clearly not a man for the simplest of detail!
Thus Diane James won in a mud slide victory
in which there was a very low turnout
But as I warned she was untrustworthy
& let the party down within 18 days!
Surely she must have realised the party had no money,
less ability & it was like a bunch of ferrets fighting in a sack.
You will note it was not until 22-09-2016 Ukip Treasurer signed
Diane James’ notification as leader to the Electoral Commission
&
Diane James signed (Vi Coactus : Under Duress!) on 30-09-2016
so at best Diane James was leader for 3 maybe 4 days
BUT REMAINS LEADER until a new leader is appointed
Nigel Farage IS NOT interim leader he left office when
Diane James advised the Electoral Commission,
which you will note was 30-09-2016!
Nigel Farage can’t just disrupt Ukip by stepping in & out of office
to suit his o0wn agenda.
The mess is of his making see CLICK HERE
Nigel Farage had spent years ensuring no one of competence survived in Ukip
hence the joke list of MEPs, NEC members & officers.
Farage totally lacked leadership qualities
He was just a glib speaker & affable rogue
with a ruthless determination for his personal aggrandisement
and power, as a key to enrichment.
One wonders if this is all a charade
Put on to show just how much damage Nigel Farage
has done with his one man band approach to leadership!
For Farage’s achievements in Ukip CLICK HERE
Now we hear the farcical news that:
The strutting self important journalist Raheem Kassam
plans to stand for leadership of Ukip
having failed to clone himself as Nigel Farage!
You really couldn’t make it up!
Well what do you think Ukip’s next joke will be?

Was #Diane_James put in as leader by #Nigel_Farage knowing she wouldn’t cope so that he & #Banks could install their chosen puppet?

IF there is another leadership vote in #Ukip outcome depends on who #Nigel_Farage wants as his puppet & who #Arron_Banks will fund. #Wolfe?

#Ukip seek unity in #Britain for #BreXit demanding majority vote IS democracy, but won’t accept a landslide vote for their own #Diane_James!

Diane James has sensationally quit as Ukip leader tonight just 18 days after winning the race to succeed Nigel Farage.
Party sources said the 51-year-old had been ‘deeply unhappy’ in her new role and had given up because of personal reasons.
Reports suggest she ‘shaken’ after being spat at on a train on her way to Cardiff last week, and did not feel she had assurances from some members of her party.
Bookies immediately installed Mr Farage at 10-1 to make an extraordinary return to the helm of the Eurosceptic party that has been riven by infighting since the referendum.
But he said tonight that he would not return for ‘ten million dollars’. Asked if he would take $20 million, he insisted: ‘No I’m not coming back, I’m really retired.’

Ms James took over Ukip less than three weeks ago with a promise to ‘wipe the slate clean’ after a summer of bitter rows.
She was seen as Mr Farage’s pick for the post after he resigned on the back of Brexit success – insisting he wanted to get his ‘life back’ after decades hammering at the political establishment.
But insiders claim Ms James never really wanted the role and when signed her official declaration with V.C., signifying Vi coactus the Latin term for under duress.
Ukip appeared in chaos at Ms James’ apparent resignation tonight and senior sources in the party were unavailable.
Earlier today party figures held crisis talks with her in attempt to persuade her not to stand down.
But she is said to have insisted because of her unhappiness in the role and personal issues including the illness of her partner.
Ms James, who had dinner with Mr Farage in Strasbourg before announcing her resignation, reportedly felt ‘shaken’ after being spat at on a train on her way to Cardiff last week, The Times reported.
She is said to have been reluctant to continue leading the party without assurances about funding and had complained about Ukip’s finances, the newspaper reported.
It has become clear that I do not have sufficient authority nor the full support of all my MEP colleagues and party officers to implement changes I believe necessary and upon which I based my campaignStatement from Diane JamesIn a statement announcing her decision to step down tonight, she said: ‘It is with great regret that I announce that I will not be formalising my recent nomination to become the new leader of the party with the Electoral Commission.
‘Having won the enthusiastic support of party members, I was nominated by them as the new leader. Since that time I have been in discussion with party officers about the role.
‘It has become clear that I do not have sufficient authority nor the full support of all my MEP colleagues and party officers to implement changes I believe necessary and upon which I based my campaign.
‘For personal and professional reasons, therefore, I will not take the election process further.
‘I will continue to concentrate fully on my activities and responsibilities as an elected UKIP Member of the European Parliament for SE UK Region.
‘This is my final media statement on this issue.’

Steven Woolfe (right) – who was left out of the summer contest after failing to submit his membership papers on time – is the bookmakers’ early favourite. Other candidates could be Suzanne Evans (left), barred from the summer contest, or Bill Etheridge who finished third
Ms James was seen having a heated debate with fellow MEPs in a café at the European Parliament in Strasbourg this afternoon.
She is understood to have fled to her hotel room before later cancelling a planned speech in the chamber at the last minute.
A Ukip spokesman refused to confirm or deny whether Ms James had stood down, but a senior source told MailOnline rumours of the resignation were ‘true’.
The party’s only MP Douglas Carswell insisted he knew nothing on Twitter and would not interrupt his dinner to find out.
After being contacted about the resignation, he said: ‘In the middle of supper. Not taking calls about UKIP stuff. It’s shepherds pie, by the way.’
He added to MailOnline: ‘I’m both sad and surprised, I hope she’s OK.’
Married 56-year-old Diane James waves as she is introduced at the UKIP Autumn Conference less than three weeks ago
In a further bizarre twist, it appeared Ms James may never have been officially installed as party leader by the election’s watchdog.
Yesterday, the Electoral Commission confirmed to HuffPost UK it had not received the paperwork from Ukip confirming James was the party’s new leader.
A spokesman said: ‘We have been in contact with UKIP and are expecting the party’s leadership change to be confirmed shortly.’
The failure to send the proper paperwork to the Electoral Commission could mean Mr Farage is technically still Ukip leader tonight despite the fact he has resigned twice in 18 months.
Ms James’ early departure has raised speculation that her predecessor Mr Farage could make a return.
However, bookmakers have placed him at 10/1 odds to make a comeback, with Steven Woolfe – who was left out of the summer contest after failing to submit his membership papers on time – the early favourite. Other candidates could be Suzanne Evans, barred from the summer contest, or Bill Etheridge, who finished a distant third last time out.
Ms Evans confirmed that her suspension from Ukip had been lifted, clearing the way for her to enter any leadership race.
But she declined to say whether she was considering throwing her hat into the ring, telling PA: ‘I think we all need to see what happens over the next few hours.’
She added: ‘There is not a contest yet. I’m unable therefore to rule anything in or out.’

Nigel Farage made a triumphant final appearance as Ukip leader at Party conference on September 16 but tonight ruled out returning as party leader saying you ‘couldn’t pay him’
Ms James, an MEP, became the first woman to lead the Eurosceptic party when she won the contest to replace Mr Farage on September 16.
The front-runner throughout the leadership campaign, she was backed by supporters of Mr Farage and Ukip’s millionaire funder Arron Banks.
Her landslide victory, which saw her gain 47 per cent of the vote, was made at the party’s annual conference in Bournemouth just a fortnight ago.
It came after months of infighting between different factions divided by the tactics used in the referendum on the European Union.
Ms James had been criticised within the party for being too close to Mr Farage. But during her first speech as leader, she declared: ‘I’m not Nigel-like, I’m not even Nigel-lite – and I will never, ever pretend to be so.’
She raised eyebrows last year in an interview where she had declared her admiration for the Russian president, saying that Vladimir Putin was ‘a strong leader’ who stands up for his country.
She began her leadership campaign by declaring there were no skeletons in her closet, but the Mail revealed she had been involved in the break-up of two marriages.
In 1998 a tabloid newspaper exposed her affair with senior MoD official Ron Smith, a married man and aide to then-Labour defence secretary George Robertson.
By 2005, Ms James, who attended Rochester Girls Grammar School, had taken up with another married man – John Forrest, who is 17 years her senior and had been married for 32 years at the time. The couple now live in a secluded £1million house in Surrey.
A KEEN DANCER AND ANTIQUES COLLECTOR WHO PROMISED TO HAVE ‘LASER FOCUS’ IN UKIP ROLE… BUT LASTED 18 DAYS
Diane James became the first woman to lead the Eurosceptic party when she won the contest to replace Nigel Farage last month
Diane James, who has stepped down as Ukip leader after just 18 days in the role, became the first woman to lead the Eurosceptic party when she won the contest to replace Nigel Farage on September 16.
Ms James, the front-runner throughout the leadership campaign, was backed by supporters of Mr Farage and Ukip’s millionaire funder Arron Banks.
During the contest she promised to have a ‘laser focus’ on the Brexit negotiations, but refused to set out any policies, insisting she did not want to make ‘policy on the hoof’.
After a career in the healthcare sector, Ms James first won election to Waverley Borough Council in Surrey as an independent in 2007 after becoming ‘disillusioned’ with the Conservatives.
She switched to Ukip in 2011 and shot to national prominence in 2013 when she fought the parliamentary by-election in Eastleigh, Hampshire, resulting from the downfall of Cabinet minister Chris Huhne, who was jailed for lying about a speeding offence.
She came close to taking the seat from the Liberal Democrats, coming second with 27.8% – fewer than 2,000 votes behind the winning candidate.
Ms James, 56, was elected to the European Parliament as an MEP for South East England in 2014, as part of the political ‘earthquake’ achieved as Ukip became the first non-mainstream party in modern times to win a national election in the UK.
She was appointed Ukip’s deputy chairwoman and home affairs spokeswoman, but stood aside from a planned bid to become an MP in the general election in 2015 for ‘personal reasons’, after being selected as candidate for North West Hampshire.
Ms James raised some eyebrows in a 2015 interview by declaring her admiration for Russian president Vladimir Putin, describing him as ‘a strong leader’ who stands up for his country.
Educated at Rochester Girls Grammar School and Thames Valley University, she is a keen dancer who also lists antiques among her interests and speaks French and German.
Her elevation to the leadership meant that Ukip joined the Conservatives, Scottish National Party and Plaid Cymru in having a female politician at the helm, while the Greens have a woman as job-sharing co-leader.

Was this the ‘Kiss of Death’?
& BEHIND THE SCENES:
We note that Nigel Farage was recently noted in a queue at the German Embassy, along with many others seeking German passports, visas and the like! He robustly, but unconvincingly, claimed that he was not seeking a German passport!
Yet we note that The Hamburg Police went to an address in Hamburg to check on an application for a German passport and when they arrived at the address:
22455
Hamburg
Politzei Commissariat 24,
Garstedter Weg 24,
22453
Hamburg
