Boris Johnson’s former right-hand man at City Hall today announced he has ditched his Tory membership to instead join Ukip.
...
Mr Barnes, who served as Deputy Mayor between 2008 and 2012, said he took his decision due to a mix of London and national issues.
...
Mr Barnes was London Assembly for Ealing and Hillingdon from 2000 to 2012 and is a former Hillingdon councillor.“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

I think we will get another tomorrow before DC's speech, then one a month till the election. There will be a big name sooner or later, maybe a cabinet member who thinks he will not get a position post GE.

As for UKIP, if you're referring to their VAT proposal, that has been scrapped. They seem eager to eventually lower the 40p rate to 30 and increase the 40p threshold. And also raise the income tax threshold to be equivalent to the MW; presumably the same would have to be done with NI, if the Tories don't push for its merger. They intend to scrap the inheritance tax. Given their attitude to SMEs I doubt UKIP would be hostile to contractors, they are a relatively pro market party. Of course, it could all be lies, as with the Lib-dems.
Re Labour, if UKIP begins taking 'their' votes, I doubt they will do much laughing.Last edited by Zero Liability; 30 September 2014, 11:29.Comment
