The other interesting feature is the way the Conservative blogs have reported it and the comments of their readers e.g Iain Dale's Diary and ConservativeHome

Didn't really make many waves in the rags this morning. And people wonder why apathy is the highest party.

I must say I was very surprised about the lack of coverage IMO regarding this news.

I hope he does what is needed to be done and isn't just going to hide away and do nothing. UKIP have to make the best of this if they are struggling to make the best of their MEP's and members of the House of Lords.

Spink needs to chuck spanners into the works and really unnerve the establishment if he is to be of any use to UKIP.

Anyone know if there's anywhere you can watch that press conference in full?
