In its first two days, a parody UKIP account - inspired by a UKIP councillor's comments linking flooding with gay marriage - has amassed more than 80,000 followers.

By any standards, the rise of the @UkipWeather Twitter account is pretty remarkable. The spoof account has tweeted just 16 times since it was set up on Saturday, but has gathered more than 80,000 followers. That's more than double the number of followers of the official @UKIP Twitter account. The Twitter account was inspired by comments made by UKIP councillor David Silvester.

Fifa presidential candidate Jerome Champagne has suggested introducing orange cards that would allow referees to send players to a sin-bin. And he also wants to begin doing live debates with fifa presidents taking part his other suggestions are:

• Quotas for foreign players

• Implementing rugby's rule where only the captain can talk to the referee with a free-kick advanced 10 yards for any dissent

• Abolishing the 'triple punishment' rule where a player who prevents a goalscoring opportunity in the penalty areas concedes a spot-kick, is sent off and also suspended

• All Fifa presidential candidates taking part in live debates on television and in front of the six continental confederations

• Making public the salary of the Fifa president and leading officials
