Outspoken former Ukip MEP Godfrey Bloom has quit the party claiming it is now too politically correct.

Mr Bloom, a former flat mate of Nigel Farage, said he was leaving with a heavy heart but had had enough after being banned from speaking because of his controversial views.

He left with a warning for Ukips first elected MP Douglas Carswell that he could be knifed in the back by his new party if he was not careful.

Mr Bloom, who represented Yorkshire and the Humber for Ukip in the European Parliament for 10 years, added: Douglas, watch your back.
