Nigel Farage may have to be let in to the 2015 general election TV debates,
David Cameron's former communications director has said.
Andy Coulson conceded that the Ukip leader had a "bit of a point" when he argued victory for his party in 2014's European elections would make excluding him impossible.
The prime minister's former top spinner said in order to see off the threat from Farage, or "Mr Mirage", the Conservatives should challenge him to a head-to-head debate before 2015.
