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?

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.
