Ukip may be trying to laugh off the defection of MEP Amjad Bashir to the Tories, as the Yorkshire and Humber representative dubbed the anti-immigration party “pointless” this weekend. 
 
But will Nigel Farage et al find today's #UkipFilmTitles hashtag amusing?

They also took aim at Ukip's position on the political spectrum:

And Farage's penchant for pints:

Or his dress sense:
