Who do UKIP blame for Manchester bombing?

The "only people to blame" for the Manchester bomb attack were those who plotted and carried out the atrocity said UKIP's deputy chairman, after suggesting Theresa May had "some responsibility" for the attack.

Suzanne Evans said the UK's borders had been "deliberately opened" to people whose way of life was "fundamentally incompatible with ours" and it was time for a new approach.

She was speaking to Daily Politics presenter Andrew Neil, and former Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott, just after Paul Nuttall unveiled UKIP's general election manifesto.

She said: "I think that we have had successive Labour and Conservative governments who have failed to put the security of our nation and the safety of the British people first and I think that is the first job of any government."
