 Perhaps KB's referring to the 'Thurrock Independents', who have been as busy as bees forming a new 'group' since they left UKIP en masse. That would account for 17 of them.

 KB is referring to the "For Britain" party lead by Ann Marie Waters and assisted by that well known politician Tommy Robinson. If it is  correct  that UKIP members have joined them it shows that Farage was right in that any party that just campaigns against people's race or religion is doomed from the outset. Interesting that the odious  Ms Waters tried to join the Labour party despite their being staunch supporters of racial equality, except for Jews of course.

Cheap shot that, Mr McSweeney1. Jon Lansmann, who set up and headed the Jeremy for Labour Leader campaign and then Momentum, which he still heads, is Jewish.

 Paragraph 2, Mr McSweeney1: “Anti-Semitism is a problem throughout society. It would be extremely surprising if it wasn’t also present in the Labour party, alongside other forms of discrimination, which is why I’m so pleased that the NEC put a statement that made very clear our absolute opposition to all forms of discrimination," he said. From your link - quote from Jon Lansman.

Waters was actually a Labour Party member, HM, and was elected as such to Lambeth council in 2010, but left for better prospects in UKIP when neither Swindon South nor Brighton Pavilion wanted her for a candidate.

 #669 And for the record, the biblical references I usually cite are either in reference to, or citations from, historical Jewish notables.

 I think the founder   of UKIP's   words  that it is time   to wind up the party as it is becoming a laughing stock and no longer being taken seriously.

 With Henry due for the order of the boot on Saturday there will be factions within the party looking for their favourite to be leader.

 Whatever happens, it is all of very little consequence in the grand scheme of things. UKIP's ship has sailed, in my opinion.

As acronyms go, STRIP wouldn't be a bad one for a political grouping. (And it also presents a quipping opportunity for a female opposition leader with ambitions: You STRIP if you want to. The lady's not for STRIPPING.)
