UKIP Assembly Member Mark Reckless has responded to criticism from Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood by saying that it's his party, not Plaid, which speaks for Wales.

At her party's conference in Newport, Leanne Wood accused UKIP of being isolationist.

In his speech to UKIP's conference in Weymouth later, Mark Reckless is expected to push back against that accusation.

He'll also call for unity within UKIP and criticise 'some in our party who wish to replay the divisions of the past over and over. We cannot and must not.'
