“Nigel Farage today revealed he is “probably” still the leader of Ukip following Diane James’s resignation after just 18 days.
The Ukip MEP told HuffPost UK he was looking for confirmation from the Electoral Commission as to whether he was legally still in charge of his party.
The admission came after it was revealed by party sources that James did not submit the relevant forms to the Commission to officially become party leader.
It is believed she wrote the words “under duress” in Latin underneath her signature, rendering the forms void.
Speaking to the HuffPost UK this morning, Farage said: “I don’t want to be leader, but I think legally I probably still am.
“We’re just waiting to speak to the Electoral Commission, but they’re not open yet as they’re lazy civil servants.”
Nigel Farage … called in to advise Donald Trump on how to run an election campaign … Owl can see why.

Actually, I believe that the staff of the Electoral Commission are not actually civil servants as the EC is a quango rather than a government department. But I might be wrong.
