Nigel Farage has raged at Essex Police’s treatment of pro-migrant demonstrators in Epping. Tensions erupted on Tuesday evening with protesters on both sides of the debate demonstrating outside a hotel in Epping used to house asylum seekers.

Essex Police has strongly denied claims by Nigel Farage it "bussed" counter-demonstrators to a protest outside a migrant hotel in Epping.

Essex’s top police officer has urged political party leaders to “consider the consequences” of what they say after Nigel Farage called for him to be fired over his response to riots in Epping related to a hotel housing asylum seekers.
