UKIP's Steven Woolfe says he's 'fine' after altercation

UKIP leadership hopeful Steven Woolfe says he is recovering in hospital after a reported fight at a meeting of the party's MEPs.

The party released a statement from Mr Woolfe from his Strasbourg hospital bed saying he was sitting up having undergone a precautionary brain scan.

UKIP sources said "punches were exchanged" during the row at a party meeting and Mr Woolfe banged his head.

He was taken to hospital two hours later after collapsing, sources said.


UKIP sources said "a rumbustious argument" had taken place at the MEPs' meeting at the European Parliament over whether Mr Woolfe had been talking to the Conservative Party.

"Even the possibility of him talking to the Tory Party some saw as a betrayal and some MEPs were very angry," the sources said.

The BBC was told Mr Woolfe went outside with another MEP where "punches were exchanged".

"It is believed that Steven banged his head against a structure - a window or a wall - but he got up," the sources said.

Following a vote two hours later "he collapsed" and doctors were called and his wife was contacted.
'Looking well'

UKIP did not deny Mike Hookem, who represents Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire, was the MEP who left the room with Mr Woolfe.

A party spokesman told the BBC the events that followed were not witnessed by MEPs.

Speaking from his hospital bed, Mr Woolfe said: "The CT scan has shown that there is no blood clot in the brain. At the moment I am feeling brighter, happier, and smiling as ever.

"As a precaution, I am being kept in overnight awaiting secondary tests to make sure everything (is) fine.

"I would like everyone to know that the parliamentary staff, the UKIP MEPs with me and hospital staff have been brilliant. Their care has been exceptional.

"I am sitting up and said to be looking well. The only consequence at the moment is a bit of numbness on the left hand side of my face. "

UKIP interim leader Nigel Farage, who is launching an inquiry into the altercation, said Mr Woolfe "is in a much better place than he was a few hours ago".

"He did collapse coming out of the chamber during the voting session and hit the ground pretty hard..." he said.

"It's been a pretty serious medical incident, but I'm pleased to say he's sitting up in bed and he's feeling a lot better."

Raheem Kassam, the other candidate to have declared for the UKIP leadership so far, tweeted his best wishes for Mr Woolfe, as did ex deputy chairwoman Suzanne Evans.
Leadership contest

Mr Kassam cancelled his appearance on BBC2's Daily Politics "out of respect" for Mr Woolfe, following reports he had been taken ill.

He added: "I really hope @Steven-Woolfe is okay. Plz send him your best wishes."

Media captionSpeaking on Wednesday's Radio 4's PM programme, Steven Woolfe says he recently considered joining the Conservative Party

Mr Farage said on Wednesday he would return as UKIP's interim leader until a fresh election could be held to find a successor to Diane James.

Ms James announced her resignation after just 18 days in the job, citing professional and personal reasons for her decision.

She succeeded Mr Farage on 16 September after he resigned following the Brexit vote.

Mr Woolfe was unable to take part in the previous UKIP leadership race after he missed the deadline for submitting his nomination.

What are UKIP for anyway? The single issue of their single issue party has now been resolved. They just don't need to exist.

Well they did get us out of the globalist, corporalist, open borders, pinko commie faggoty EU, Farage should get a knighthood for that at least. Now us conservatives can run the world as it is suppose to be run.

I haven't seen any news posted on the forum about the bizarre resignation of the previous UKIP leader, whatever her name was. What was that all about? I even read a byline suggesting she wrote cryptic message in latin implying there was some subterfuge going on.

She's colloquially being referred to as having, "done an Allardyce."
