UKIP is not like any other party....
Quote:
“Former UKIP leader Diane James has said she resigned after just 18 days in the job because of an inability to break up the party's "old guard".
Ms James said false reports she had stepped down because of her husband's ill health had caused her anxiety.
She also revealed her "awkwardness" over a planned kiss with Nigel Farage.
At the time of her departure, it was reported that Ms James's husband was in poor health, but she said: "My husband was not very ill, and neither was he at death's door, and it was quite frankly irresponsible journalism.
"By concocting a story and deciding that family illness could be a factor, that story then effectively grew, developed legs and went viral, and it caused an immense amount of upset and anxiety and unhappiness."
Ms James, who also announced last month that she was quitting UKIP entirely, said Mr Farage had not apologised for calling the decision "an act of irrational selfishness" and that they had not spoken since.”
