Nigel Farage: UKIP will 'rise above' dirty politics

Nigel Farage has said the Conservatives and Labour both "fear" a UKIP breakthrough at May's general election giving it the balance of power.

In his first major speech of 2015, Mr Farage said he believed no party would secure a majority after May's poll.

Speaking at a cinema in Canvey Island, Essex, he said UKIP would not engage in "dirty politics" as its opponents "turned nasty" during the election campaign.
