Come back or butt out: Suzanne Evans' message to Nigel Farage
Suzanne Evans has called on Nigel Farage to return as leader of UKIP, or “butt out of any future leadership contest”.
Ms Evans, from Shrewsbury, said that the former UKIP chief had a “duty” to return and take charge of the party after backing “duff” leaders.
She said: “We have had seven leaders, including interims, in quick succession since the EU referendum.
“Every single one of our last three duff leaders have been anointed by Nigel and he has got it spectacularly wrong three times on the trot so I think he should come back and lead the party and sort this mess out.”
Ms Evans’ comments came after she revealed that she could stand for election of the party again, in the wake of Henry Bolton’s sacking by UKIP members over the weekend.
She said the party’s former leader could put pressure on the government over its negotiations with the EU.
