Farage says poll underplays Brexit Party surge by 'hiding' it from voters

Nigel Farage (inset top centre) fumed that his party was 'hidden' from voters in the shock survey, which put it in second place - although still ahead of the Tories and Labour.

The Brexit Party, which came top in the European election, was close behind with 22 per cent. But Mr Farage dismissed the poll results as skewed against his party - pointing out that it was not initially listed as an option for those questioned.
