Nigel Farage on that Ukip parliamentary candidate suspended after ‘threatening to shoot Tory rival’

“I think we’ve had fewer people like that than the others have”, Nigel Farage tells Channel 4 News.

Ukip leader Nigel Farage tells Channel 4 News reporter Cordelia Lynch that the suspension of former Ukip candidate Robert Blay is “embarrassing”, but insists Ukip has less of an issue with problem candidates than the other main parties.

The Daily Mirror secretly recorded Mr Blay saying that he would shoot his Conservative rival Ranil Jayawardena if he ever became prime minister.
