Ukip confronts Labour on living cost
THE UK Independence Party challenged Ed Miliband over the cost of living with the launch of a new poster in the Labour leader’s Doncaster North constituency today.
Ukip deputy leader Paul Nuttall unveiled the poster in Bentley claiming food bills would be £400 cheaper if the UK left the European Union.
Mr Miliband has made the cost-of-living the centrepiece of Labour’s strategy.

In addition to contesting the European elections, Ukip is fielding a large number of candidates in the local elections including every ward in Doncaster and neighbouring Rotherham where the party already has a council seat.
The poster is the latest in a series funded by Yorkshire businessman Paul Sykes.
