Election 2015: Nigel Farage welcomes UKIP Wales support

UKIP leader Nigel Farage has welcomed the boost in support for his party in places such as south Wales and north east England, where he says UKIP had little presence in 2010.

Shortly before learning he had failed to take Thanet South from the Conservatives, he told reporters UKIP would now be looking to future opportunities such as the Welsh assembly and London mayoral elections.
