UKIP's only MP, Douglas Carswell, has said that it is important that the party's leader Nigel Farage takes a break "as leader" but not "from being leader."

Mr Carswell also raised concerns about the line taken by the party on some issues, saying that the challenge is to "get a tone that ensures that the 27 million people who didn't vote for UKIP last week may be persuaded to vote for us in future".
