One of the main Eurosceptic groups in the European Parliament, which includes Britain's UKIP, has collapsed after a Latvian MEP withdrew.

The Europe of Freedom and Direct Democracy (EFDD) group had 48 members including the Five Star Movement of Italian politician Beppe Grillo.

MEP Iveta Grigule's exit meant it no longer qualified as a group because it featured fewer than seven countries.

Group status means extra funds, seats on committees and more speaking time.

European Parliament spokesman Jaume Duch tweeted the news: "Latvian MEP Iveta Grigule left #EFDD group today. #EFDD no longer has members from at least 7 countries, so declared dissolved today."

Soon after the announcement, the EFDD website was still showing Ms Grigule as a member of the group.

It was not immediately clear why she had left.
