Farage pledges 'loud, strong' campaign against bridge tolls

Nigel Farage has claimed UKIP has a "real chance" of becoming the official opposition in Cardiff Bay after the 2016 assembly election.

Campaigning in south Wales, Mr Farage restated the party's pledge to scrap the Severn Bridge tolls after 2018.

The party currently has no AMs, but came third in the popular vote in Wales at the general election, with 13.6%.

Mr Farage pledged UKIP would discuss issues "people actually care about" in its assembly election campaign.

He promised UKIP assembly members would push UK ministers hard to end the tolls, because they send out a message that Wales is "closed for business".
