As the Ukip leader tries to calm the backlash over his comments, Channel 4 News readers give their verdict on who they would prefer as a neighbour: Nigel Farage or “a group of Romanian men”.

Ukip leader Nigel Farage defends his comments over Romanian immigrants “living next door”, saying the group is not being “singled out”.

Culture Secretary Sajid Javid says immigrants to the UK need to learn to speak English to “respect our way of life”, as posturing over immigration intensifies ahead of the European elections.

A prominent youth member quits Ukip ahead of the European elections saying the party is moving in a “terrifying” direction and has “descended into a form of racist populism”.

Ukip has come under fire after the party unveiled a series of anti-immigration European election campaign posters that it plans to display in “hundreds” of sites.
