Reform UK leader Nigel Farage unveils a blown-up poster of the ‘i’ newspaper front page from May 10, 2016, with the headline "Boris blames EU for war in Ukraine". The poster is shown at a rally in Maidstone, Kent, from the top deck of the Reform battle bus. Mr Farage, who has been criticised for saying the west "provoked" the war in Ukraine, tells the crowd: "I was alone, I was the only person in 2014 who said there will be a war in Ukraine. I can't take those words away and nor would I want to." Report by Blairm. Like us on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/itn and follow us on Twitter at http://twitter.com/itn
