Another Lincolnshire MEP has resigned his post in UKIP as the row continues over its leader.

Jonathan Bullock says in a statement that although he remains fully committed to the party, he is resigning as its energy spokesman.

He says the row over Henry Bolton and comments made by his girlfriend was a modern day "Profumo" scandal.

Mr Bullock says he cannot serve under someone who has a close relationship with someone who has uttered such obnoxious views.

Other calls to East Midlands Ambulance Service included one about a broken toenail.

Mike Hookem the UKIP Member of the European Parliament for Yorkshire and the Humber, has launched a scathing attack on their current leader Henry Bolton.

Mr Hookem resigned as Assistant Deputy Leader after Mr Bolton refused to resign over social media comments made by his former girlfriend.

Henry Bolton has insisted he will not quit as UKIP leader, saying it was "time to drain the swamp" of malcontents within the party.

In a statement Mr Hookem said Henry Bolton was not listening to what the membership wants and a total lack of communication typifies his leadership to date.

More now on the review into Lincolnshire's coastal defences which has been launched amid fears the current system is unsustainable.

Floods Minister Therese Coffey has backed the Environment Agency's decision to look into other options and says the current method of pumping sand onto beaches can't last forever:

East Midlands Ambulance Service said the call was one of many unnecessary requests made to the emergency number.

Other examples of spurious calls included a person worried about a dead fox, someone with a broken toenail, another who wanted a taxi home and a patient waiting to be seen at a GP surgery who didn’t want to wait 30 minutes for their appointment.

With more than 2,500 999 calls handled every day, the ambulance service said people should only phone the number in an emergency.

Lincoln's NHS walk-in centre looks set to close at the end of next month.

The trust which runs it said it would close the service on Monks Road when alternative arrangements were in place for patients after the winter.

It's planning to close the centre at the end of February, with a weekend-only service until then.

Thousands of people signed a petition to save the Monks Road unit last year.

The trust's board is expected to make a final decision on its fate on Wednesday.

A third person has been arrested as part of the investigation into the death of 45-year-old Tony Richardson in Grimsby.

Marc Finnie, 44, and Sarah Finnie, 36, both of Sutcliffe Avenue in Grimsby, have been charged with murder and they're due to appear before Hull Crown Court later today.

Currently, thousands of tonnes of sand are pumped onto our beaches every year, but the Environment Agency says it's not a long-term solution.

Public consultations are expected to take place next month and it could include the creation of groynes - where rocks are stacked on top of each other out to sea to form new defences.
