Robert Kilroy-Silk claimed the country was "being stolen" from the British by mass immigration as he launched his new Veritas party today.

Mr Kilroy-Silk, who was elected MEP as a member of the UK Independence Party before resigning after a failed leadership bid, promised straight talking in his new role.
