you're not the man to save ukip, mr nuttall, are you?p with the biggest mandate that anyone's ever received in a leadership election? i took a flyer on stoke, i took a gamble. and it didn't pay off. we halved labour's majority in that election. you crashed and burned. i would love to have been an mp and i would love to have won that seat. it didn't work. we knew these local elections would be the hardest set of elections we ever fought. as i say, sometimes in politics the tide comes in and the tide goes out. it will come back in again. but you know what a lot of people say, including some critics in your own party, is that ukip under paul nuttall is a pale imitation of nigel farage's ukip. i think if you look at our manifesto it's proof that it's not. ukip has moved on, it's campaigning on other issues. ukip in the future will be relevant, if not more relevant, than it has ever been in the past. we both know nigel farage, mr nuttall. you're no nigel farage. i'm not nigel farage. quite obviously we come from completely different backgroun
