Douglas Carswell, the MP for Clacton in Essex, yesterday shocked Westminster by announcing that he was joining Mr Farage's party after losing faith in David Cameron's plans to claw back powers from Europe.
He resigned his seat with immediate effect, triggering a by-election which will take place less than a week after the Conservative Party conference and just months before the General Election.
Mr Farage said that other Tory MPs are "considering their options" and that if Ukip wins the by-election it could prove to be a "high noon moment".
