UKIP's Tim Aker

THURROCK councillor, Tim Aker has quit his post as the Local Government spokesperson for UKIP.

The MEP posted a statement on his website.

Cllr Aker said: “Today I am resigning as UKIP’s Local Government Spokesman. I cannot continue to serve under Henry Bolton. I hope he does the right thing and resigns before the EGM, so the Party can move forward with a new leader.

He is the fourth senior Ukip member to resign.

A vote of no confidence in the leader Henry Bolton was issued by the National Executive Committee of UKIP after an on-going controversy regarding his (former) girlfriend, Jo Marney.

  1. Once we leave the EU the raison d’être of the UKIP is gone.

    Their only purpose for existing has gone.

    They are floundering around trying to find a purpose to exist. They have achieved what they were created for. They should have a dignified disbanding once we do leave. Those that want to form a ‘new’ political party should shuffle off and go ahead and do so.
