Janice Atkinson and Stephen Howd added to long and embarrassing list of Ukip suspensions

It's been another chaotic week for Nigel Farage's Ukip in which the party suspended two candidates in the space of 24 hours.

Stephen Howd, a barrister who was the prospective parliamentary candidate for Ukip in Scunthorpe, was suspended after an "alleged incident in the workplace", while Janice Atkinson MEP was suspended for "allegations of a serious financial nature".

The party has suspended so many candidates in the past 12 months that there's even a Tumblr page dedicated to documenting them. The page - HowManyUkipSuspensions - also has a timer counting how long it's been since the last suspension.
