Former treasurer and Farage apparatchik A Smith is back on the NEC.
Which may come to be extremely handy for NF, one could almost say it is an ideal result, too good to be true (

ops: )
Why? Because now UKIP has a spare treasurer waiting in the wings.
Apparently Lawson NOT happy about past accounts and the whole electoral commision thing, and now not happy about the new call centre - he sees another Ashford in the making.
So Monday's meeting, which has been called mainly at Lawson's very direct 'request' (ultimatum?) to NF could be interesting, particularly if it transpires that NF, who is dodging doing anything formal regarding the new call centre with the NEC, gets asked if he (NF) has actually signed leases on the new property on behalf of UKIP without the agreement of the NEC.
So could Lawson be for the elbow, given his new understanding of the 'intricacies' of UKIP finances? Or will he jump, in order to avoid Ashford 2? Or will he stay put, and learn to shut up and cover up, as seems to be required?
