The leader of UKIP has said the party has now become the "guard dog of Brexit". Paul Nuttall said his party would act as an insurance policy for Brexit ensuring the prime minister does not go back on their word.

When questioned on the drop in support for UKIP Mr Nuttall told the Today programme his party had "won the war" and now they had to "win the peace".

UKIP becomes the first party to resume campaigning post the Manchester attack. Mr Nuttall said it was the best way to show these people the country will not be beaten.
