Scotland Tonight: Is UKIP north of the border at war with itself? The former leader of UKIP in Scotland says the party has been "wiped out" north of the border after factional fighting and fierce internal battles over the selection of candidates. Lord Christopher Monkton was sacked by Nigel Farage, he says his departure has led to anger among members and caused other high-profile resignations, giving the impression of a party at war with itself. However Mr Farage and his allies have pledged to build a new party in Scotland, equipped to contest European Parliament elections and win fresh support. Scotland Tonight was joined by Lord Monkton and the party's new lead candidate in Scotland, David Coburn.
