Not really news!
Under the headline Ukip pledges not to fight Eurosceptic MPs the Telegraph builds a story on the fact that Nigel Farage wrote to all MPs to announce that he would no longer field candidates against proven Eurosceptics. The kicker comes in the final paragraph where it states “MPs would have to demonstrate their Eurosceptic credentials by signing up to the Better Off Out campaign by June this year after which Ukip would begin selecting general election candidates, Mr Farage said. The Better Off Out campaign, set up last year by the Freedom Association, is a “non-party organisation committed to making the case for leaving the European Union”.
