> Now it seems UKIP leader Nigel Farage is about to take the plunge and name the Kent seat of Thanet South as his target to get a foothold in the Commons. THe UKIP association in the seat could confirm Mr Farage as its candidate as early as this weekend, the Financial Times reported. He is said to be on a shortlist of two or three candidates to be chosen by local activists.
> Last month an opinion poll by Lord Ashcroft named Thanet South as one of just two seats where UKIP is already in the lead. It put UKIP on 33 per cent, ahead of Labour and the Tories tied on 29 per cent and the Lib Dems trailled 4 per cent. Rozanne Duncan, the local party secretary, told the FT: 'It is the worst-kept secret in town.
> 'We now have two names on the list and one of them is Mr Farage. Whether he will get selected or not is another matter... although I'd be surprised if he doesn't.' The seat is considered vulnerable after sitting Tory MP Laura Sandys announced she would stand down in 2015, after being an MP for only five years.
