    According to The News in Portsmouth a Ukip councillor saved a family of four.

    Patrick Bergin burst into his neighbour’s home in Gosport, “with fire licking at his heels”, the paper reports

    Bursting into the house as the family sat down to a Chinese take away, he picked up the four-year-old boy and led the rest of the family to safety.

    His efforts have earned him praise from his party’s leader:
