UKIP has come under fire after a woman who appeared on promotional material as a voter turned out to be a member of staff.

Lizzy Vaid, who was educated in Brighton and Lewes, appeared on the campaign material saying she would be voting for the party because it was the only one that listened to what people want.

But on her Twitter account – which has now been deleted – the 27-year-old described herself as “UKIP Events Manager and Assistant to Nigel Farage.”
