Nigel Farage’s Ukip leadership has finally come to an end after Paul Nuttall was elected as the party's new leader.

Mr Nuttall, the former deputy leader, secured 62.6 per cent of the vote to succeed Mr Farage and take over the troubled party.

Accepting his new role as leader, he said: "I want to replace the Labour party and make Ukip the patriotic voice of working people."
