UKIP have announced that the musical chairs event that was to be held at their summer conference has been cancelled.

The event at the Travelodge Nuneaton was to have featured a game of musical chairs during the end of conference and been the highlight following Paul Nuttall’s Rear of the Year acceptance speech.

A spokesman for UKIP today told The Rochdale Herald that the party was struggling to find enough seats for the event to take place.

Martin Williams 42, a UKIP member said “I suggested musical statues but that was overruled by Paul Nuttall as we need to portray a dynamic party”.

Williams then went on to say, “We may have to go back to pass the parcel but that was rubbish because no matter how many layers of wrapping paper we used Nigel always ended up with the prize”.
