They were were spotted fighting each other in Hartlepool.

They said: “We were called to an incident today but we weren’t aware that Ukip were going to be there."
A spokesperson for Ukip said: “Neither women is involved with Ukip and we hope cooler heads prevail."
Two members of the North East for Europe group, who were in attendance at the event, said the woman were not associated with North East for Europe in any way.
They added: “We’re a peaceful group, we’re just trying to make sure people of the North East are aware that we’re here to support the North East and their role to Europe.
“We're against everything that Ukip and their xenophobic policies stand for."
Mr Nuttall described it as “a great honour and a privilege” to be standing for Ukip in the seat, adding: “The constituency voted overwhelmingly for Leave inspired in part by the massive betrayal of our fishing industry by successive Governments, something that today's Conservative Party led by Theresa May looks set to repeat.
“I will make it my mission to stand up for the people of Boston and Skegness and ensure there is no backsliding on Brexit."
Sue Blackburn, chairman of the Ukip Boston and Skegness branch, said: “As branch chairman, I would like to say on behalf of the Boston and Skegness branch how delighted we are to have our leader standing in this election and Paul will have the upmost support of this branch.”
