UKIP haven't been 'destroyed'. They never really existed, other than as a weaponised arm of the Tory right. They have now rejoined the hive.

The demise of Ukip ought to be a cause for celebration. But in 2017 all it means is the Tories are so awful racists don't need Ukip anymore.

Excellent #LocalElections17 results for UKIP though, as they win overall control of Tory policy.

UKIP wiped out. BBC to interview UKIP members endlessly for ever as consolation prize.
