Farage hails 'extraordinary' UKIP win in European election
The UK Independence Party is a truly national force and has "momentum" behind it, Nigel Farage has said after its victory in the European elections.
Hailing a "breakthrough" in Scotland and a strong showing in Wales, he said UKIP would target its first Westminster seat in next week's Newark by-election.
UKIP won 27.5% of the vote and had 24 MEPs elected; Labour, on 25.4% or 20 seats, narrowly beat the Tories into third place while the Lib Dems lost all but one of their seats and came sixth behind the Greens.
