| Description | Nikki Sinclaire is taking action over Ukip withdrawing the whip from her in the European Parliament and preventing her standing for the Commons as a candidate for the party.
She claimed today that her treatment had been in breach of Ukip's constitution and was motivated by sexual orientation discrimination.
Ms Sinclaire was kicked out of the party after she refused to sit with the eurosceptic group Europe of Freedom and Democracy (EFD) which Ukip joined in the European Parliament last year.
She said she quit the EFD because it contained ''extreme elements'', including people with ''openly homophobic opinions''. |
