UKIP Chairman crashes out to humiliating vote in council by-election
UKIP Chairman Ben Walker’s social media accounts are unusually quiet today – perhaps that’s because he has just led the party into possibly the most embarrassing and humiliating election performance in its history.

The lies behind a Cornish councillor’s antisemitic tirade
Searchlight magazine and anti-fascist groups warned that last weekend’s ‘British National Strike’ would enable the most extreme forces to spread their bile in public.
