UKIP laid out its right-wing economic agenda yesterday that included a pledge to grant employers the right to discriminate in favour of British jobseekers.
Party economic spokesman Patrick O’Flynn said Ukip would also reallocate funds from international aid and EU membership to boost defence spending, scrap inheritance tax and raise the 40 per cent personal allowance.
Claims to child benefit would be limited to two children per household.
Mr O’Flynn said Ukip’s vision of the welfare state was a safety net “and not a feather bed, still less the kind of infantilising ‘onesie state’ that proliferated under the last Labour government.”
He repeatedly emphasised the “working-class” vote as he spoke in the Labour marginal Heywood & Middleton in Greater Manchester.
