Just under two weeks ago Suzanne Evans had been anointed interim leader of UKIP. Yesterday she was unceremoniously told that her contract to lead policy development at the party was not being renewed.

I understand she wasn't informed beforehand by Nigel Farage. Now she has to wait until Friday to see what new role he wants to offer her. Suzanne Evans spoke out in support of her election campaign press conference partner, Patrick O'Flynn, after he attacked the UKIP leader. She said Mr O'Flynn - now the former economic spokesman - was brave. She's since denied being part of any plot to depose Nigel Farage, saying the only person who was plotting against him was himself.

There was a defiant tone from her after she was stripped of the policy role. She told me: "I'm not concerned that my contract isn't being renewed. The manifesto was a huge success and I'm not sure I could top it. Better to go out on a high, don't you think?"

The big question now is...what will the leader offer the woman who was widely praised for her role in the election campaign, so much so that it ended with Nigel Farage choosing her to take over (briefly)?
