Statement from UKIP:
Suzanne Evans has been working within Head Office for the past few months developing our manifesto, a task which was completed with singular success. As Mark Reckless said earlier today, nothing has been agreed in regard to any future role he may play within the party.
UKIP Deputy Chairman Suzanne Evans says: “It has been a great privilege to work with UKIP for the past four months to produce the 2015 General Election manifesto. I was delighted with the way it was received, especially by party members and supporters. While my contract for that work comes to an end next week, I remain in my voluntary post as Deputy Chairman.”
It is a good job that the UKIP bloodletting is taking place such a long time before an election is due!
