Nigel Farage orders investigation into ruckus between UKIP colleagues

Nigel Farage - currently the UKIP party's interim leader - confirmed he has ordered an investigation into what happened in the parliament building.

Steven Woolfe remains in hospital after collapsing and suffering 2 seizures yesterday.

He claims he was punched - but his colleague Mike Hookem strongly denies that.

Despite conflicting accounts by the two men, it appears there was an altercation following a stormy meeting of Ukip MEPs and Mr Woolfe fell and banged his head.

He subsequently collapsed and was rushed to hospital where he underwent a brain scan.

Mr Gill said Mr Woolfe - who suffered two seizures - is now feeling much better and has emailed Mr Hookem in a gesture of friendship.

"Steven has this morning reached out the hand of friendship to Mr Hookem - to Mike - and has realised that things did go too far in the MEP meeting," he said.

"So he has made moves forward for keeping us all as a band of friends."
