* He has a PhD.
* He played professional football for Tranmere Rovers.
Not sure it will hurt him but if he loses badly it might call his leadership into question. I think Hillsborough is the most likely of the issues to cost him votes in Stoke.

I think so as well. His lack of condemnation of UKIP-funding, multi-millionaire Arron Banks's comments on Hillsborough are big mistake. But does UKIP have anyone lined up to replace him apart from Farage (again) who is now busy with LBC and Fox as well as being an MEP as well as keeping a watching brief on Brexit?

Quote:
UKIP leader Paul Nuttall has failed to respond to calls from the ECHO to condemn comments by a multi-millionaire party donor who called the Hillsborough disaster “an accident.”
We have repeatedly asked the Bootle-born politician to comment on tweets by UKIP backer Arron Banks, which said he was “sick of hearing” about the tragedy and accused people of “milking it.”
The ECHO has had no response from Mr Nuttall’s representatives despite calling repeatedly and contacting them on Twitter today.

It's better than not voting at all, if the majority become to disenfranchised the only ones left will be the hardcore of extremists and you really don't want those types deciding elections, you could go from communist to fascist in the space of weeks left to them. What has become apparent is that this shower of game amateurs that is UKIP are no better than the professional shower that have been lying to us for years, if they're not careful we'll elect someone to drain the swamp :Yikes:

l agree its far better voting for someone rather then not voting at all but sadly the choices put in front of us all are lamentable to say the least.

I still see UKIP having a good chance. Apparently the Liberals are eating into Labour's vote in Stoke.

I think it's their current leader that's the problem.
