Ukip’s leader, Paul Nuttall, was probably retaining a lot of information in his head when he took part in the ITV leaders’ debate last night.
Maybe that’s why he kept calling Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood “Natalie”.
It’s not even close, Paul.
Alas; instead of anyone's policies or voting or voting intentions taking centre stage, 'Natalie' took the limelight instead:
Incredible scenes. Paul Nuttall just called Leanne Wood "Natalie" for the second time in twenty minutes. Genuinely the best bit of this.— Jamie Ross (@Jamie Ross) 1495136889
Drifted out of #ITVdebate. Only piques interest when Nuttall calls someone Natalie. 1) Who's winning? 2) Who's Natalie?— Josh Halliday (@Josh Halliday) 1495137121
Nuttall calling Leanne Wood Natalie is the most exciting thing to happen in politics in the run up to this general election— Andrea (@Andrea) 1495140552
Some joked about Nuttall's somewhat flimsy relationship with the truth:

But the question on everyone's lips: who is Natalie?
Some think Nuttall could be thinking of former Green Party leader, Natalie Bennett - who had the greatest comeback:

Managed to listen to a bit of the show, and I did call Ukip "dangerous and despicable". Perhaps he hasn't recovered.— Natalie Bennett (@Natalie Bennett) 1495145775
Perhaps Paul is just a big fan of this 2004 banger?
