LABOUR challenged the public to spot the difference between Ukip and the Tories yesterday after the latest defection between them which this time saw a Ukip MEP jump ship.

John Trickett MP ridiculed the “revolving door” separating the two parties following the announcement that Amjad Bashir had rejoined the Conservatives.

Mr Bashir turned on his ex-colleagues in a Mail on Sunday article, branding Ukip “amateur” and a “party of ruthless self-interest.”
