As Ukip decide on a new leader for the party – with Nigel Farage threatening to launch a new pro-Brexit party if Anne-Marie Waters wins and takes the party off on a rabid anti-Islam direction – news of a new logo for the party with no MP’s has been met with much derision today.

People immediately spotted a striking similarity with the Football Premier League logo after the Brexiteers dropped the pound sign from their logo and replaced it with a purple, right looking lion:

Just got off phone with Premier League. Not confirming if they're consulting lawyers but have certainly "noted" the new UKIP logo #ukip17 pic.twitter.com/ixUG4BAfOh

Ukip chairman Paul Oakden inisisted he is “not worried” about the reaction of the Premier League’s lawyers as Ukip “did our due diligence”.

He told Daily Politics presenter Sarah Smith: “I don’t mind UKIP being associated with the Premier League. If they feel they have a right to take legal action I’m sure they’ll consult with their lawyers.”

Others have pointed out a perhaps more troubling similarity with another right-wing anti-immigrant logo – Britain First’s:

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
