Is he, isn't he?

Betsan Powys | 15:55 UK time, Wednesday, 15 September 2010

Another race, another set of bookies' odds - this time the UKIP leadership, which John Bufton MEP is 5-1 on to take.

But he's not standing. Or is he?

He's just released a statement in which "the MEP for Wales believes he must clarify that he is taking part in the leadership contest".

That's clear then. He is.

"While I am of course flattered to hear that I have received backing to be UKIP's next leader I must reiterate that I will not at this time be nominating myself as a candidate for the role".

So he's not?

As I type, the statement has just been re-sent: "Statement from John Bufton MEP on UKIP Leadership contest (with slight amendment)".

The "slight" amendment? "Not".

Got it?
