A man, believed to be Steven Woolfe, face down on a floor at the European Parliament in Strasbourg. We're talking about a dispute that finished up physically," Farage, who has resumed his role as interim UKIP leader, said outside the Strasbourg hospital where Woolfe was recovering. Roger Helmer, one of the UKIP MEPs at the meeting where the altercation occurred, said there had been "a lively exchange of views" at the meeting. Farage resumed overall leadership of the party on Wednesday after James quit less than three weeks into the job saying she did not have sufficient authority or the full support of UKIP MEPs. "I have been enthused by the start to Theresa May's premiership," he said in a statement announcing his candidacy.
