Nigel Farage sent home from Rochester after voters take against Reckless defection to Ukip
Mark Reckless, the ex-Conservative MP that defected to Ukip on Saturday, looked to have cancelled a planned walkabout to celebrate his move with leader Nigel Farage after a negative reaction in his Rochester constituency.
Far from the near-hero’s welcome that met Clacton’s Douglas Carswell when he defected at the end of August, Reckless was subjected to tough questions from his constituents in Rochester in Kent. Old colleagues from the Tory party were also waiting at the pub that Farage and Reckless had planned to begin their walkabout from, ready to take on the ex-Conservative MP.
After a photo opportunity with both men sitting down to have a drink, they had a private conversation, according to Sky News. Soon after, they each left, with Farage exiting in a car and Reckless escaping through a side door.
