The UK Independence Party leader compared the Prime Minister's referendum
approach to Sepp Blatter's troubled Fifa presidency and branded the move an “absolute
disgrace”.
Mr Farage even hinted there could be a formal challenge to the result of
the EU referendum if the government pushes ahead with removing a 'purdah'
period.
The comments escalate the row over Mr Cameron’s determination that
ministers should not be shackled in putting forward their opinion on the EU in
the final month of the referendum campaign.
As many as 50 Tory MPs are preparing to defy the government on Tuesday by
backing an amendment calling for the government not to scrap rules limiting
government involvement in the referendum. Express.
