Nigel Farage has unveiled Ukip's manifesto for the upcoming General Election, pledging to introduce a referendum to "free" Britain from the European Union, adding: "Then, only then, can we truly control our borders."
The party leader also promised an £18 billion "tax giveaway", including plans to raise the income tax threshold for lower and middle earners and abolish inheritance tax.
Under Ukip plans, the NHS would receive an extra £12 billion across the five years of the next Parliament with another £5.2 billion being added to social care budgets. And - in contrast to the Conservatives - defence spending would be kept at or above the Nato target of 2% of GDP, paid for in part by slashing the foreign aid budget by £9 billion a year.
Tories said that cash - as well as proposed savings from leaving the EU, reducing funding to Scotland and scrapping the HS2 high-speed rail project - had been spent several times over, leaving a £37 billion "black hole".
But Mr Farage - who famously dismissed his party's 2010 manifesto as "486 pages of drivel" - said the new document showed there was "real change on the horizon" in British politics for the first time in a century. Despite a decline over recent weeks, Ukip remains comfortably the third most popular party in opinion polls and is looking to hold a pivotal role in any coalition negotiations by increasing its current tally of two MPs.
Nigel Farage tells ITV News his supporters are angered by claims of intolerance, and refuses to be drawn on any discussions with the Tories.
Ukip leader Nigel Farage said his party was offering "serious, fully costed policies" aimed at voters who "believe" in Britain.
