Nigel Farage 'made a serious error' in not standing for election, claims Kelvin MacKenzie

Former editor of the Sun, Kelvin MacKenzie has said that Nigel Farage has made a "serious error," after the former Ukip leader announced he will not be standing in the upcoming election.

Putting out a statement on social media, Farage said he is "fully supportive of Richard Tice's leadership" but he said it is "not the right time" for him to go "any further than that".

Speaking about this on GB News Kelvin said:" I think he's made a serious error. I think it's a wrong decision.

"I thought that letter that he the PR handout that he gave out was a disgrace, frankly, because what he was saying was, the UK, little old UK is very nice but there is a bigger fish to fry. I'm off to the States."
