THE story gripping Westminster

Completed ballot papers for the UK Independence Party's leadership election must be returned to party headquarters by 5.00pm today. The leadership candidates are David Campbell Bannerman, Nigel Farage, David Noakes and Richard Suchorzewski. The result will be announced on September 12.

My money is on Campbell Bannerman - his great-great-great-grand-uncle was PM in 1906, so the power actually flows through his veins.

70-year-old Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman resigned due to ill health but refused to move out of Downing Street, where he then died a few weeks later. I bet his great-great-great-grand-nephew is getting some serious mileage out of that at dinner parties at the moment.

Noakes' slogan is : "A vote for the Lib Dems, Conservatives or Labour is a vote for the EU police state"

My parents once voted Ukip, so I'm sure all the candidates have nice blazers.
