SIR - I refer to Max Hey’s letter in the T&A on March 13.

Oh how I chuckle as people go to desperate lengths to discredit UKIP. If the party wasn’t proving itself to be a threat to the out-of-touch Westminster elite, then people wouldn’t bother trying to spread misleading information about UKIP.

But UKIP are a threat to the traditional Lab-Lib-Con parties.

Hence Mr Hey feels the need to refer to various comments by Paul Nuttall, the UKIP leader, made six years ago. Does Mr Hey not have anything current to talk about? Would a letter be published in the T&A that refers to Jeremy Corbyn’s comments six years ago? No, I think not.

So let’s get back to 2017 and set out UKIP’s policy on the NHS correctly. UKIP is fully committed to keeping the NHS free at the point of delivery for UK citizens. It will integrate adult social care into the NHS and deliver enhanced mental health services, with significant multi-billion-pound extra funding for the NHS.
