				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well that is a surprise. Just a few days after the Telegraph’s student intern <a href="http://www.theagedp.com/?p=8323"><em><strong>Stephen Best</strong></em></a> scribbled a <a href="http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/stephenkb/100278938/whatever-happened-to-nigel-farage/"><em><strong>piece</strong></em></a> headed “Where’s Nigel” on the back of his copy of the latest Tory Party HQ press release&#8230;.(Sample: “Then the wheels fell off in Newark”)</p>
<p>Unfortunately for young Stephen we found out today exactly where Nigel and UKIP can be found&#8230;.still doing as well in the polls as they did during the May elections. Dashing some ice cold water on those over hyped claims of a “Juncker Bounce” for Cameron the highly respected <a href="http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/pollingobservatory/100279233/ignore-the-juncker-bounce-and-the-labour-surge-polls-may-bounce-but-public-opinion-usually-doesnt/"><em><strong>Polling Report</strong></em></a> still sees little sign of the Tories overtaking Labour or, alternatively, a massive endorsement of Miliband’s Labour Party. What does seem clear, however, is that UKIP is no flash in the pan&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p><b><i>There is little evidence yet of a fall in Ukip support now the European Parliament elections have passed, confounding the expectations of pundits who believed the European election victory was the &#8220;peak Ukip moment&#8221;. Our estimates have Farage&#8217;s party at 14.8 per cent, down just 0.1 per cent on last month. </i></b></p></blockquote>
<p>Not such good news for Nick Clegg and his party, however..</p>
<blockquote><p><b><i>The Liberal Democrats, however, continue to slide to new record lows. This month they register just 8.8 per cent, down 0.5 per cent on last month, </i></b><b><i>and an all-time low </i></b><b><i>under our new methodology</i></b><b><i>.</i></b></p></blockquote>
<p>Never mind, Stephen&#8230;..just keep listening to Grant Shapps and cutting and pasting those Tory HQ memos and you too <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2014/06/18/telegraph-cuts-highprofile-journalists_n_5506465.html"><em><strong>can end up</strong></em></a> like Benedict Brogan&#8230;&#8230;.</p>
