July 4, 2016

Breaking news today and currently flooding timelines of social media is Mr Nigel Farage and that he has announced he quits as leader of the UKIP party. It has been one of the most incredible few weeks in politics both home and abroad in regards to the UK, not only has a prime minister stepped down following the #Brexit defeat, we also have a vote of confidence slightly lacking behind the leader of the opposition and of course, we have also left the European Union (Oh and we’ve just had our national football team manager resign too)… And now we add to the mix that Mr Farage, the man many will say was behind the UK removing itself from the EU, tells us he is quitting as leader of the UKIP to ‘get his life back’ and that he has indeed accomplished what he wanted to achieve as leader.
