Nigel Farage has said UKIP is "absolutely right" not to stop campaigning in the immediate aftermath of the London attack.
The former UKIP leader told BBC Radio 5 live's John Pienaar: "The Prime Minister said we must not let terrorism affect our lives, it must not stop the democratic process, then in the next sentence she says we're going to suspend campaigning... we have to continue with the democratic process, it's what our country is about."
Liberal Democrat peer Brian Paddick, who was also on the programme, responded that there "[needed] to be a period of respect for the dead... and if you can't stop campaigning for one day to show respect for that we're morally lost".
