Nigel Farage has admitted that Jo Cox’s murder could damage his campaign to pull Britain out of the European Union and claimed that he too had been a “victim” of political hatred.

The Ukip leader said that prior to Ms Cox’s murder, the Brexit campaign had “momentum” that may have been lost as a result of the killing.


                                           

He also described the murder as an act of “one man with serious mental health issues” that should not be allowed to influence the campaign.

Speaking to Peston on Sunday he said: “I think we had momentum before this terrible tragedy,” he said.

“When you are taking on the establishment you need to have momentum. I don’t know what’s going to happen over the next three or four days.
