Queen's speech: Ed Miliband accuses David Cameron of joining Ukip 'circus'
Labour leader's attack comes as veteran Tory MP warns PM not to appease voters on the right
in response to Ukip surge
Ed Miliband mocked David Cameron for joining the Ukip "circus", accusing the prime minister of
attempting to out-Farage Nigel Farage, Ukip's leader, and appearing to distance himself from
same-sex marriage legislation in Wednesday'sthe Queen's speech.
As a veteran Tory MP warned the prime minister not to appease disgruntled voters on the right in
response to the Ukip surge, the Labour leader said that insulting or imitating the new fourth force
in English politics would fail because the government had a reality problem.
In his response to the Queen's speech, Miliband said: "They used to call [Ukip] clowns, now they
want to join the circus. The whole point of the prime minister's speech [on the EU] in January
was to head off Ukip. Tory MPs were crowing the Ukip fox had been shot - job done, mission accomplished.
Only it wasn't...................
