Raheem Kassam launches UKIP leadership campaign

Raheem Kassam's been giving his vision for UKIP which has looked like it's in chaos since Britain voted to leave the EU. First a leader walked out after just 18 days in the job, then the favourite to take over was hospitalised after a confrontation with one of the party's own MEPs. The former aide to Nigel Farage wants to be the first British Asian to run a major political party. The party's new leader will be named on 28 November. Reporter Adam Pasternicki was listening as he launched his leadership campaign in a Westminster pub.
