NIGEL FARAGE promised to use money saved by quitting the European Union to inject extra cash into the NHS, as he sought to limit the damage caused by a Ukip MEP defecting to the Tories and embarrassing comments from a senior party *official.
The Ukip leader, who pledged an extra £3 billion a year for the health service, hit out at the party’s former communities spokesman Amjad Bashir after his defection to join David Cameron’s party.
Ukip said it had suspended Mr Bashir shortly before news of his decision to join the Tories emerged and Mr Farage said the party had become “increasingly alarmed” about allegations of impropriety.
