Poor Paul Nuttall. After 48 years in parliament, 33 of which he spent as Prime Minister, he has very narrowly lost his seat.

Ukip fantasist Paul Nuttall's quit. Presumably to resume his career as a ballerina in the Bokshoi ballet and centre forward for Liverpool

UKIP is finished. But at least Paul Nuttall can go back to his day job as Poet Laureate.
