the mep took charge of ukip in november.se previous mp tristram hunt stood down to become the head of the v&a museum. our political correspondent iain watson is here. how risky is this for a new party leader? it isa it is a high—risk strategy for paul nuttall, a straight talking scouser, setting out an ambitious aim of replacing the labour party and making ukip the patriotic voice of working people, he says. in stoke, two thirds backed brexit, he called it the capital of brexit. if he fails to beat labour there it could damage his leadership very early. his predecessor nigel farage survived various failed attempt to get into parliament. if he wins, he strikes a body blow atjeremy corbyn, who is campaigning ahead of another by—election in cumbria. a labour seat, but local campaigners there saying that more and more voters seem to be undecided. by—elections represent high—sta kes oi’ by—elections represent high—sta kes or at least two opposition leaders. thank you. 16 people, mostly teenagers, have been killed in verona in nor

but the parliamentary seat in a part of the country where labour has ukip on its tail, now looks precariousf—deselection now a career choice? will corbyn‘s critics in parliament choose to follow mr hunt out of politics, or stay and fight for a party they believe is in deep trouble? the labour mp for stoke central knows a lot about fragile things. the pottery of the midlands. the ceramics of his new home, the v&a, and perhaps, some would add, the labour party in its current state. he quit his seat today to become head of one of the country's most prestigious museums, a move that in many ways requires little further explanation. indeed, it was greeted by his leader, jeremy corbyn, with cheery pragmatism. we don't want anyone to resign. i don't want to lose mps. but he has taken this position as director of the v&a. good luck to him and we will have a by—election. and corbyn may have quietly welcomed the departure of someone who had little time for him. i'm glad we've finally got a proper socialist leader willing to confront fascism wherever he sees it, be it in assad's syria or putin's russia

and it is gratifying to see a single kind of things that ukip has been saying for someone. until much forward by two more years of negotiations and then she will ask the parliament to vote on her deal so they could turn it down. the council of the european union could turnit council of the european union could turn it down and we're back to square turn it down and we're back to square one turn it down and we're back to square one like a game of snakes and ladders. what she said that struck me as very important was that she would negotiate a deal, when that has been voted on then repeal the act of parliament nexus members of the eu. she is also going to transpose all the law of the eu into british law. that is odd because it already is british law under acts of parliament. if she was serious about leaving then she would put forward a bill for the repeal of the european communities act no. that would force parliament to actually confront the issue of whether they are going to implement the will of the people in the referendum are not under do repeal that bill and we can amend
