Nigel Farage’s fight back has continued with an interview on Sky News this morning. Following on from his appearance on Question Time, the Ukip leader described an ‘astonishing’ level of support for him within the party. But he admitted that there is someone high up within the party trying to cause trouble or oust him as leader:
‘I mean, I’ve never had support like it. There is one senior figure in UKIP briefing every single day, consistently, and he’s now moved on to “there must be a leadership election”.
‘That individual must make his mind up whether his future is with UKIP or not. What is clear is that the sheer level of support for me within UKIP … frankly, it’s astonishing.
‘To read the ludicrous headlines in some of today’s newspapers makes you realise that this is a Conservative attempt to try and destabilise UKIP.
‘There is one person in UKIP agitating for a change and for a leadership election.
