The UKIP is providing ample material for satirists on Twitter courtesy of a steady stream of outrageous remarks from its councillors, the latest of which has inspired creation of the @UKipWeather Twitter account.Party bosses have been under the weather since the parody account launched just three days ago, in that time it has swiftly amassed nearly 99k followers.

— UkipWeather (@UkipWeather) January 19, 2014Launched on Saturday the site picks up on comments attributed to a now suspended UKIP councillor, who suggested that recent flooding could be attributed to the legalisation of gay marriage.That prompted a barrage of ridicule on Twitter as elsewhere and now it has also spawned a spoof UKIP account that has over twice as many followers as the real one.One choice tweet read: “Council gritters are on high alert after a man in Peterborough went into a pub and ordered a glass of white wine."The account is run by 43 year old office worker, Jason Spacey.
