Paul Nuttall: The new leader of UKIP
28 November 2016 UK Politics
Paul Nuttall has been elected leader of the UK Independence Party, replacing Nigel Farage. But what do we know about him?
Paul Nuttall is angry with mainstream politicians who think they have a monopoly on "truth".
UKIP's new leader, a substantial figure on the Leave side of the Brexit debate, argues that the millions of voters who have rejected the establishment view of life rightly feel cheated.
Those who claim the rise of his party is part of a global movement towards "post-truth politics" get short shrift. Mr Nuttall promises instead a "post-deceit" age.
A familiar figure on political programmes for several years, he will now get the chance to show what that means. And then there's the task of getting UKIP - riven by factional disputes in recent months - back into shape, having promoted himself as the "unity candidate".
