Ukip's new leader Henry Bolton has said the party has avoided becoming the "UK Nazi Party" with his election at the expense of a candidate who described Islam as "evil".

Raheem Kassam, a former aide to Nigel Farage, has quit the race to become Ukip leader three days after launching his campaign in a Westminster pub.

A former Conservative supporter in the UK called Arron Banks has donated £1m to Ukip after William Hague called him a “nobody”, while a Tory veteran's son has said he will join the party.
