A former leader of the UK Independence Party, dubbed the “father of Brexit”, has died aged 90.

Jeffrey Titford began his political career as a Conservative councillor in Clacton before joining the Referendum Party, which went on to merge with Ukip.

He was elected to the European Parliament in 1999 – becoming one of the first Ukip politicians to do so.

Mr Titford became party leader in 2000, serving for three years. He briefly returned as acting leader in 2010 before Nigel Farage took over in the run-up to the 2016 Brexit referendum.
