Farage denies rumours he will join the DUP
Nigel Farage has quashed speculation that he was considering joining the DUP.
The former Ukip leader is due at an event hosted by the pro-brexit Northern Ireland unionists in Ballymena in Co Antrim on Friday evening.
DUP MP Ian Paisley has dismissed “media fever” over the issue and said he would be discussing the EU withdrawal and its aftermath with the MEP.
Mr Farage said: “I will be remaining a Ukip MEP. I have shared platforms with Labour MP Kate Hoey, Tory minis- ter Liam Fox and people like George Galloway.
“I am happy to support those who supported the Leave campaign during the Brexit referendum. My visit is nothing more than that.”
