Nigel Farage 'no longer angry' at Patrick O'Flynn's remarks

UKIP leader Nigel Farage has said he respects Patrick O'Flynn for apologising to him for calling him "snarling, thin-skinned and aggressive".

UKIP MEP Mr O'Flynn has stood down as economics spokesman for the party. His comments triggered a bout of bitter infighting.

Speaking to the BBC's Alex Forsyth, Mr Farage said it was ''big-hearted and honest'' of Patrick O'Flynn to say sorry.
