Ukip MEP Patrick O'Flynn today said he had stepped down as the party's economics spokesman and apologised to leader Nigel Farage for calling him "snarling, thin-skinned and aggressive".
Nigel Farage said he had accepted the resignation with "sadness", adding that O'Flynn will remain a member and MEP.
Ukip spokesman Patrick O'Flynn should resign over his "wholly unprofessional" comments about Nigel Farage, the party leader's outgoing chief of staff has said.
It was confirmed today that Raheem Kassam had left his job, but Mr Farage's former adviser insisted that his contract was always due to expire at the end of May.
"I wish Nigel all the best, Nigel is clearly the best person to lead the party; he's clearly the best communicator in British politics and for Patrick O'Flynn to call him 'snarling' I think shows what sort of pedigree Patrick O'Flynn has in politics," he told Sky News.
Kassam revealed that he is returning to journalism with Breitbart London where he would "scrutinising quite heavily what the red Ukip team are trying to do with the organisation".
