UKIP's only MP brands Farage comments 'wrong at so many levels'

Ukip MP Douglas Carswell has risked the wrath of his party leader by branding the comments made by Nigel Farage about immigrants coming to Britain for free treatment for HIV as “plain wrong”.

MP for Clacton Mr Carswell, who is Ukip’s only representative in the Commons after Mr Farage failed in his bid to win South Thanet from the Conservatives, also described the remarks as “mean-spirited”.
