UKIP leader Nigel Farage has announced he will step down as leader of the party in the wake of the referendum to leave the EU. "My aim in politics was to get Britain out of the European Union," he said in a speech outlining the party's post-referendum strategy. Mr Farage has declined to endorse a successor but says he expects his replacement will be in place for the party's autumn conference.
