UKIP is to include a ban on full veils worn by some Muslim women as part of its General Election manifesto. Leader Paul Nuttall speaking on BBC's Andrew Marr Show said wearing a burka in public was a barrier to integration and a security risk. He also said that Muslim women who defied the ban could face a fine. Stephen was joined by former UKIP member and now independent councillor Henry Reilly, and the journalist Fionola Meredith.
