"The UK's first transgender parliamentary politician is on trial over allegations of expenses fraud.
Nikki Sinclaire was elected as a UK Independence Party MEP for the West Midlands in 2009.
She was expelled from UKIP in 2010 after making allegations of racism and sexism – but continued to serve as an MEP, in 2013 launching the 'We Demand a Referendum' alongside controversial columnist Katie Hopkins."
