Nigel Farage has said UKIP is "absolutely right" not to stop campaigning in the immediate aftermath of the London attack, which left seven people dead.

The former UKIP leader told 大象传媒 Radio 5 live's John Pienaar: "The Prime Minister said we must not let terrorism affect our lives, it must not stop the democratic process, then in the next sentence she says we're going to suspend campaigning... We have to continue with the democratic process, it's what our country is about."

Liberal Democrat peer Brian Paddick responded that there "[needed] to be a period of respect for the dead... and if you can't stop campaigning for one day to show respect for that we're morally lost".

Mr Farage replied: "If I'd lost somebody close to me in this atrocity, the thing that would be absolutely foremost in my mind is hoping and praying that something was done to stop the same thing happening to another family".
