Nigel Farage warns: Let Ukip into studio for TV election debates or I'll take you to court
Tories threaten to pull the plug on live broadcast if Ukip leader is included
Ukip is prepared to take legal action if any attempt is made to exclude the party from television
debates ahead of the next general election, Nigel Farage has warned.
Amid increasing signs that the Conservatives would pull the plug on televised leaders' debates
if Mr Farage was included, the Ukip leader said he would be prepared to challenge efforts to stop
him taking part in the courts.
He also revealed that he had been approached by a major TV company, understood to be
Sky News, to appear in a mooted leaders' debate ahead of the European elections next May.
Broadcasters are believed to have already made a preliminary approach to the three main
political parties about repeating the live televised debates, which took place for the first time
in 2010, in 2015.
But while Labour and the Liberal Democrats are in favour of repeating the exercise, senior aides
to David Cameron have strong reservations.
