The Electoral Commission have confirmed that Diane James never officially became UKIP leader as there were ‘issues’ with the signing of the leadership form. Apparently she added “V.C.” to the signature which stands for “Vi coactus” or “under duress”. All this means that Nigel never left. He told the BBC today that he would stay on as interim leader joking “I keep trying to escape… and before I’m finally free they drag me back“. Could the party be over for Carswell?
