Former UKIP leader Diane James quits party

Former UKIP leader Diane James has quit the party, and has described her relationship with colleagues as 'difficult'. It is the latest blow to the embattled party, which has been riven by infighting and struggled to find anyone to replace Nigel Farage. Ms James resigned in October, only 18 days after being elected as leader of the party, saying she didn't "have sufficient authority, nor the full support" to carry on.
