		</div><p>UKIP&#8217;S only MP has issued a fresh call for party leader Nigel Farage to stand down in favour of someone who radiated “sunshine and optimism”.</p>
<p>Douglas Carswell said the party needed a “fresh face” at the top and questioned Mr Farage’s response to Ukip’s poor showing in the Oldham West and Royton by-election.</p>
<p>It is the latest sign of unrest at the top of Ukip, following Mr Carswell’s suggestion that Mr Farage should “take a break” following the party’s failure to make inroads at Westminster in the general election in May.</p>
<p>In an interview with BBC Essex, Clacton MP Mr Carswell said: “The Oldham by-election to me said very clearly that I think we need a fresh face.”</p>
<p>UKIP failed to make widely-predicted advances in the Oldham poll, which saw Labour hold the seat with a majority of more than 10,000 with Mr Farage claiming the process was “bent” and complaining about the postal vote system.<br />
Explaining his desire for change at the top of his party, Mr Carswell said: “I don’t want to wake up the morning after the European referendum and hear people saying it was the postal votes.”</p>
