Nigel Farage must return

Sir, - As a leave voter and a Ukip supporter I am very much saddened by the state of disarray that the party currently finds itself in.

It is now facing its fifth leadership campaign in 18 months.

Things clearly have not been the same since Nigel Farage resigned.

This party whose aim was to get us out of Europe from the beginning still has a vital role to play in British politics.

It is needed to make sure that our exit from Europe goes ahead.

At the moment I am having serious doubts that it will, or at the most I fear it will be a greatly watered down version as a fudge gesture.

The cabinet is full of remainers including, of course, Theresa May herself.

The Prime Minister is incredibly weak when it comes to standing up for our own interests – the recent negotiations with Macron provide painfully clear evidence of that.

Not only that, she has said she would vote remain if there was a second referendum.

Can we really trust someone like that to deliver on Brexit?

In my opinion no one has the capability, charisma or sheer single mindedness to hold Theresa May to account other than Nigel Farage.

Please return to frontline politics Nigel – your country needs you. Gordon Kennedy. 117 Simpson Square, Perth.
