[In the Drunk Tank]

The BBC with some more behind-the-scenes news on UKIP's civil war:

A party with just one MP and there are serious splits, almost unbelievably.

On the one hand, you’ve got a principled row between Douglas Carswell and other senior figures. He doesn't want to take the money, but some figures at the top of the party believe they need the money and they should take it.

On the other, there's something quite nasty going on in private between Carswell and one senior figure close to Farage, briefing against each other. I think there's some dishonest versions of what's going on and it's all quite nasty.

I read a report on the BBC that Carswell wanted to take the 650K, but demanded to be able to spend it himself, rather than being told how it would be spent by the party. Its all warming up rather nicely

That sounds truer to his tory roots
