Police are looking into remarks made by Nigel Farage at a rally in which he told the crowd: “Once Brexit is done, we will take the knife to the pen-pushers in Whitehall.”

Gwent police said they were investigating the comments made by the Brexit party leader during the event at the Neon in Newport last weekend.

The comments, made to an audience of about 500 people, were reported to the force by several people on Twitter.

In response, Gwent police said: “Thank you for your message. We have been made aware of comments made last night in Newport and we are looking into these allegations. Thanks.”

The Alliance party MEP, Naomi Long, had asked police on Twitter if they would be investigating “this clear case of incitement to violence against staff in the civil service”.
