Douglas Carswell has disregarded all known laws of physics by claiming the colour of his hat makes him run faster.

Curious. An early morning run wearing a red @vote_leave cap seems to go much further and faster than one wearing a black @vote_leave cap

The UKIP MP's claims - which have yet to be independently verified by science - left some a bit baffled.

@DouglasCarswell That does sounds bit barmy Douglas.

Humour. Yeah...

As we well know, it's not the first time a Ukipper has made a rather outlandish claim.

Here a refresher...

1) Gay marriage cause flooding.

2) The EU was conceived by the Nazis.

3) Britain sends aid to 'Bongo Bongo Land'.

4) The revelation that the Sun heats the Earth.

5) Women who don't clean fridges properly are 'sluts'.
