}}Michael Hookem (born 9 October 1953) is a Member of the European Parliament for the Yorkshire and the Humber region for the UK Independence Party (UKIP). He was elected in 2014.[3]

He has served as UKIP's Deputy Leader under Gerard Batten since February 2018, as well as the party's Fisheries spokesman since 2016,[4] and previously served as defence spokesman from 2014 to 2016.[5]

Early life

Hookem grew up in the fishing community in the east of Hull, and left school at 15. His father worked on the docks.[6] Hookem enlisted in the Royal Air Force at the age of 17, and served for four years.[6]

After working in various trades he rejoined the military, serving in the Royal Engineers as a TA Commando Engineer for nine years.[6]

UKIP politics

Hookem voted for the Labour Party until he became disillusioned with what he considered "a criminal Labour government".[6] In response to his disillusionment with Labour, Hookem joined UKIP in 2008, after having for years been a Labour member.[6]

He stood as UKIP candidate in Hull East in the 2010 general election, and finished fourth with 2,745 votes (8%).

Hookem was elected in 2014 to the European Parliament.[3] He had served as UKIP's regional chairman for Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire until that election. He was replaced as chairman by Judith Morris from July 2014.

On 6 October 2016, Hookem was involved in a fight with fellow UKIP MEP Steven Woolfe during a UKIP meeting at the European Parliament in Strasbourg.[6][7][8] Hookem said he had not punched Woolfe, but did admit to a "scuffle" with him and that he acted in self-defence.[9][16] The altercation was an outgrowth of a party meeting to discuss news reports that Woolfe was in talks about defecting to the Conservative Party.[10] Hookem said Woolfe "took exception" to his comment about Woolfe turning his leadership application paperwork late.[10] Hookem was asked if he would accept a suspension and Hookem said: "If they suspend me, yes. By our rules if they suspend me they have to suspend Steven Woolfe".[10]

Hookem stood as UKIP's candidate for Great Grimsby in the 2017 general election, finishing third with 1,647 votes (4.6%), thus losing his deposit.

Following the election of Henry Bolton as leader of UKIP, Hookem was appointed assistant deputy leader as well as UKIP spokesman on fisheries and on veterans issues.[11] He stood down as the party's assistant deputy leader on 22 January 2018 after Bolton refused to resign as leader following a vote of no confidence in him from UKIP's National Executive Committee the previous day.[12]

Since February 2018, Hookem has been UKIP's Deputy Leader during Gerard Batten's leadership of the party. He sits as a non-attached (Non-Inscrit) member of the European Parliament following the party's split from the EFDD Group lead by UKIP's former leader, Nigel Farage, while Batten and two other UKIP MEPs have joined the Europe of Nations and Freedom group.
