Nigel Farage leads Ukip again
NIGEL Farage was re-elected leader of the UK Independence Party yesterday.
The MEP took more than 60 per cent in a ballot of party members to succeed Lord Pearson of Rannoch at the helm.
It comes about a year after he stood down from the top job to fight - unsuccessfully - for a Commons seat.
In his acceptance speech, Mr Farage immediately launched an attack on Prime Minister David Cameron and said Ukip was the only party that would offer a referendum on the European Union's Lisbon Treaty.
"His international policy for the United Kingdom is simple - it is surrender, surrender, surrender," Mr Farage said.
