Ukip leader contender Raheem Kassam is the Farage-ist candidate
Raheen Kassam, former aide to Nigel Farage, has launched his campaign to become leader of Ukip. Speaking at a pub in Westminster he said that the party should not be dragged to the squishy centre ground. Diane James was the party leader until she resigned 18 days into the job, meaning ex-leader Nigel Farage is now running Ukip as an interim. The partys new leader will be announced on 28 November.
