Paul Nuttal assumed he won’t win the by-elections , Andrew Marr told his deputy on Sunday.
Speaking on the Andrew Marr show, Ukip’s deputy leader, Peter Wheetle was outsmarted by Marr when he claimed defeated Nuttal had previously booked his trip abroad.
Nuttal had agreed to turn up at Marr’s show after the Strike on Trent elections in which he was comprehensively beaten by his opponent.
However, the Huffington post revealed on Thursday that the new Ukip leader had already planned to skip the popular Sunday BBC political program if he was not successful in the elections.

WAFFLED
In what appeared to be waffled attempt to evade the truth, Wheetle said Nuttle had wanted to break the holiday, but that they( party members), insisted against it.
That explanation would not have resonated much with intelligent viewers. Most viewers would naturally concur with Andrew Marr’s reasoning that the Ukip leader went for an election he did not expect to win.
Either that or he simply absented himself from the previously arranged BBC show because the defeat was too much for him to face.
