Help us smash apart Labour's one party state in the North

Labour simply do not understand the impact that mass migration has had on people's lives...but Mr Umunna and the London Labourites continue to sneer at people over the issue

‎Have you noticed how in the past few days Labour has started to attack me and Ukip, just as the polls suggest that more and more Labour voters are going to be voting for us on May 7th?

Polls have shown a sharply rising proportion of UKIP supporters drawn from people who voted Labour in 2010. On April 17th it was seven per cent. This weekend it jumped to 19%.

Labour's Chuka Umunna has again repeated a tired old claim about Ukip and race.

The truth is, Labour are running scared, and it's not the Conservative Party making great inroads into their vote. It's us.

It's Ukip.

You only have to look at last year's Heywood and Middleton by-election for proof of it.


Mr Farage said Chuka Umunna continued to 'sneer' at his party on immigration and attacked a 'whopping majority of Britons'

We came within 620 votes of taking a 'safe' Labour seat, and actually, Mr Miliband would have had to resign as leader of his party if we had done it.

The problem in that case was that the Conservative Party split the vote, and we hadn't yet proclaimed our Australian-style points system plan for immigration, or our plans to take those on the minimum wage out of income tax completely.

And far from the party of old, gin-soaked half colonels that some would like UKIP to be, we have emerged as the party of the working man and woman of this country, with a health policy welcomed by the Alzheimer's Society, a housing policy endorsed by the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors, and an immigration policy that 77 per cent of the British public agree with.

But Mr Umunna and the London Labourites continue to sneer at people over the issues they want answers on.

When they attack me, they're really attacking a whopping majority of Britons who know that on defence, our NHS, jobs, and the economy, Labour has proved itself to be grossly negligent.

On immigration, Labour was wilfully deceitful, as several senior party sources now admit. They wanted to change our communities for political gain.

They simply do not understand the impact that mass migration has had on people's lives.

In doing what they did, they betrayed their core voters – keeping wages down, making it harder to get a GP appointment, and creating a shortage of school places.

People rely on government to help them with some of their most basic needs, and Labour has not just failed to provide them, it has actually reduced their availability.

Look at the mess Ed Miliband's party is in as a result of all this.

Across the North of England, UKIP are now the serious challengers to Labour. In Scotland, Labour's heading for a wipe-out.

People are mustering up the courage to depart from their 'traditional' way of voting.


"Mr Umunna and the London Labourites continue to sneer at people over the issue they want answers on "

They want to send Labour a message: 'You don't represent us anymore'. That's because in areas like Rotherham, Hartlepool, and Stockton, Labour has ceased trying to represent the values, beliefs and opinions of ordinary folk.

They're more concerned with the chattering classes of Westminster and Islington and let's face it, until a few years ago there wasn't much choice in the North.

The Conservative Party's entire campaign is based on the idea that the economy is enriching people's lives, but very few people in the North of England are feeling that.

Their claims expose the fact that they don't know how much people are still struggling, but now there's a challenger in the North. It's UKIP.

So expect, over the next few days, a panicked campaign by Ed Miliband and chums during which they'll call us names, hurl abuse, and try and scare voters away from us. Don't believe them.

Instead, trust in your judgement, and help us smash apart Labour's one party state in the North. Ukip has several target seats in the North of England, which I now believe we're in with a chance of winning.‎


Writing for today's Daily Mail UKIP Leader Nigel Farage calls upon those in areas like Rotherham, Hartlepool, and Stockton, where Labour has ceased trying to represent the values, beliefs and opinions of ordinary folk, to vote UKIP and to smash apart Labour's one party state in the North.

In his article Nigel writes that Labour "simply do not understand the impact that mass migration has had on people's lives. In doing what they did, they betrayed their core voters – keeping wages down, making it harder to get a GP appointment, and creating a shortage of school places."

Adding: "Far from the party of old, gin-soaked half colonels that some would like UKIP to be, we have emerged as the party of the working man and woman of this country, with a health policy welcomed by the Alzheimer's Society, a housing policy endorsed by the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors, and an immigration policy that 77 per cent of the British public agree with.

poor old Labour, hanging on to the old beliefs that Labour is the party of the working man when in fact the unions have given labour millions with strings attached and the union members are paying for this largesse unwittingly
