A debate on LBC between Ukip's Nigel Farage and interviewer James O'Brien is interrupted by the party's director of communications, Patrick O'Flynn, when Farage was quizzed about his expenses. The Ukip leader challenged O'Brien to a debate live on air on the programme last week, and on Friday O'Brien questioned Farage on a range of issues including racism, immigration and his business affairs
