Westminster as it happened: Ukip's Henry Bolton refuses to resign despite mass resignations

Ukip was hit with fresh turmoil after leader Henry Bolton refused to quit, despite mass resignations and a vote of no confidence from his party’s governing body.

Mr Bolton - who has led the party since October - has been in the spotlight due to his relationship with Jo Marney, who allegedly sent a string of racist texts about Meghan Markle.

​Theresa May also came under intense criticism from her backbenchers over her slow response to a cross-party proposals on the future of NHS and social care spending.

The Prime Minister’s delayed response to the letter from 90 cross-party MPs was criticised as “disappointing” by one Tory MP, while another added: “This response lacks ambition”.
