it is called the uk independence party and it is getting independence for the uk, orat and it is gettingthe uk, or at least how it sees it. it is not about henry bolton and what is going on in his private life, it is about a political force that does not have a purpose anymore cost of membership numbers have been dwindling, poll numbers are in the ground. the real issue is ukip is a pointless party now. no matter whether henry bolton stays or goes, there is no purpose in uk politics. henry bolton has said he wants to train the swamp. this political infighting and backstabbing at the top of ukip goes on. this is all about the national executive committee, the ruling body of ukip. they have all said henry bolton is not up to the task needs to go, as have most of his officials, have a lwa ys have most of his officials, have always signed from their posts. he denies that and has said he was declaring war on the national executive committee. it was all bizarre. there is a feeling that ukip is not going anywhere. he became leader left them a year ago. it is on about 3% in the opinion polls. i

here to weigh-in, former uk independence party leader and fox news contributor nigel farage.how the mindset and reality of all these migrants has changed among these nations? >> it really is. don't forget the british referendum to a large extent was about controlling borders and civilized countries, genuine refugees fairly, see what is happening in switzerland and elsewhere, the health care system has been a magnet attracting to those countries. switzerland, the most democratic in europe, the one place politicians fear the electorate because they can call a referendum on any of these issues. we have seen this move in switzerland and austria with big parliament will changes taking place across europe. jillian: there are 40,000 refugees in switzerland in 2016, that number changes year-to-year but my question is do you agree with this and how do you see it playing out? >> i do agree with the move. if somebody wants to get citizenship in a country, to prove they can speak the language, in the course of the last three years integrated and make friends in the community, show that t

it's called the uk independence party, and, well, it's getting independence for the uk, or at least it'sout a political force that doesn't have a purpose any more. its membership numbers have been dwindling, its funds have been dwindling, its poll numbers are in the ground. so i think the real issue here is ukip is a bit of a pointless party now, so no matter whether henry bolton stays or goes, it doesn't really have a purpose in uk politics. henry bolton has said that he wants to drain the swamp. this political infighting and backstabbing at the top of ukip, it goes on. indeed, this is all about the national executive committee, which is the ruling body of ukip, and they have basically all said henry bolton is not up to the task, he needs to go. as have most of his officials, they've all resigned from their post. but he denies that, he has now said i'm declaring war on the national executive committee. it's all very bizarre, very insider baseball, but ukip feels it isn't going anywhere. mr bolton became leader less than a year ago at us failed to revive its fortunes. —— mr bolton became

it's probably the first time the former uk independence party leader and the pro—eu campaigners havee reached a point in thinking that we should have a second referendum... on what? on eu membership. the whole thing? of course! let's bring in our chief political correspondent vicki young who's in westminster. he's been doing his radio programme on lbc radio this evening, he said he was meeting michel barnier on monday, and he is now convinced that michel barnier will not "give us a good deal". i'm saying this to leavers, do not be complacent. he is elaborating on comments he made earlier. there has been a backlash for nigel farage, the man getting that referendum and who has long advocated the uk's departure from the eu, suggesting that he welcomed a second referendum. a lot of leading brexiteers have said that is the wrong thing to do, even members of ukip, of which nigel farage the former leader is still a member of, they say that is not part of the policy. on his radio programme tonight, he has said that he does not want there to be a second referendum but after his meeting with m
