Nigel Farage may be in the running for a peerage when he finally steps down as the leader of UKIP.

All there frontrunners for party leadership have said they will seek him a title and a seat in the House of Lords if they succeed him as party leader, according to The Sunday Times.

Paul Nuttal, Raheem Kassam and Suzanne Evans are vying to replace Mr Farage as leader of the party.

Mr Farage is currently the acting head of UKIP - the party he led for a decade - having stepped back in following the shock resignation of Diane James earlier this month just 18 days after she was elected to the post.

Mr Nuttall told The Sunday Times: "If Ukip are offered positions in the House of Lords, the first name on the list will be Nigel Farage."

Ms Evans told the paper: "If Nigel wants a seat in the House of Lords, I will campaign like stink for that."
