Sulky Farage blames poll flop on ‘bent’ voting
Ukip leader has never been more shocked in 30 by-election defeats
BITTER Ukip boss Nigel Farage alleged yesterday that “bent” postal votes were to blame for his party’s latest by-election flop.
Ukip candidate John Bickley polled 6,487, over 10,000 adrift of Labour’s Jim McMahon.
Mr Farage cited “impeccable sources” for his suggestion that the “perverse result” was the result of ballot-rigging.
