Ukip leadership hopeful gets help with campaign from ex-BNP member

Jack Buckby is barred from joining Ukip but has been assisting anti-Islam candidate Anne Marie Waters

One of the frontrunners for the Ukip leadership is being assisted in her campaign by a far-right former BNP member.

Jack Buckby previously stood for parliament for another extremist group that campaigns openly against Islam. As a former BNP member, he is barred from joining Ukip, but has been helping the campaign of Anne Marie Waters, who is standing for the latter's leadership on a predominantly anti-Islam platform.
