THE UKIP candidate for North East Hampshire has been suspended after being filmed threatening to shoot a Conservative rival.

Robert Blay, who is standing for an area that encompasses Odiham and North Warnborough, to the north of Alton, was secretly filmed by the Daily Mirror making the comments about Ranil Jayawardena.

The recording appears to show Mr Blay threatening to shoot Mr Jayawardena if he ever became prime minister.
