Is Bill Cash one of the potential UKIP defectors?

There is lots of talk about who Tim Montgomerie's two potential MP defectors are today. Last night however there was one name swirling around the Twittersphere - veteran Eurosceptic Bill Cash.

Personally I'd be flabbergasted if he was one of the two that is considering crossing the floor to UKIP. Cash, to my knowledge, has never even publicly endorsed EU withdrawal before. Though as the Chairman of the European Scrutiny Committee, perhaps he has had to reign in his public views a bit. A veteran and highly respected Parliamentarian, his defection would undoubtedly be a huge boost to a young party like UKIP.

Is this just unreliable Twitter gossip? Probably. But it will be interesting to see who else is gossiped about as being future UKIP MPs. With the way the Tory Party is going, there are just so many names that you could throw around...
