Diane James Is The New Ukip Leader, And People Are Already Making Fun Of Her

It didn't take her long to get to grips with the job.

Ukip MEP Diane James was elected as leader of her party on Friday, and it didn’t take long for her and Nigel Farage to be photographed at a very awkward moment.

The picture sort of speaks for itself.

Lots of people are making comparisons with other famous pop culture moments...

And, as is part of the job, people started poking fun at the new Ukip leader for any reason they could find.
