Nigel Farage was attacked by presenter - and Labour ex-Cabinet minister - Ed Balls during an interview on ITV's Good Morning Britain.

Nigel Farage clashed brutally with Ed Balls today over whether the wealthy would benefit most from Reform's £90billion tax cutting splurge.

Mr Farage argued that the poor would be the biggest winners from the personal allowance hike 'in percentage terms'. But Balls hit back that the wealthiest would get far more in cash terms. At one point a clearly frustrated Mr Farage griped 'this is so typical' about the grilling from Mr Balls, accusing him of 'playing silly games'

Mr Farage was trying to defend his manifesto after the Institute for Fiscal Studies said it was based on 'extremely optimist assumptions' about growth and the sums 'do not add up'.

He dismissed as 'utter nonsense' questions about candidate Jack Aaron, who is standing against Defence Secretary Grant Shapps in Welwyn Hatfield, over comments about Hitler's personality traits. Asked about the suggestion that Mr Aaron thought Hitler was 'brilliant', Mr Farage said: 'This is utter nonsense. It's rather like… if you asked me, you know, was Hitler a good public speaker? And I say yes – suddenly I'm a supporter.Mr Aaron told The Times: 'Yes, Hitler was as brilliant as he was utter evil.
