Nigel Farage plays race card in Oldham
CYNICAL Nigel Farage revealed yesterday that he hopes to drag a by-election campaign sparked by the death of veteran Labour MP Michael Meacher into a divisive immigration row.
The Ukip leader signalled his intention to seize on what he called “rapid demographic change” in the Oldham West and Royton poll on December 3.
Mr Farage vowed to target Jeremy Corbyn in a bid to win over “patriotic, old Labour, working-class voters.”
