Tonight on Channel 4 - "UKIP the First 100 days"
A Ukip government would lead to riots in the streets and the loss of millions of jobs after the UK leaves the EU, according to Channel 4 docudrama screening tomorrow.
Ukip: The First 100 Days mixes archive footage with scripted scenes featuring actress Priyanga Burford playing the part of the party's only Asian woman MP.
Her character, elected for Romford in an imagined landslide that puts Nigel Farage in Number 10, is left grappling with her conscience as the new government brings in tough anti-immigration raids and withdraws from Brussels.

Channel 4 insists that the drama does not take a partisan swipe at UKIP, with head of documentaries Nick Mirsky saying that this imaginary world of a UKIP government is grounded in the party’s policies and ideology.
Ukip has claimed Channel 4 refused to let Party officials see a drama-documentary being screened which portrays Britain in the grip of race riots after a surprise Nigel Farage election victory.
The fictional programme, entitled Ukip: The First 100 Days, imagines life in Britain in the event of a shock election result.
Mixing acted scenes with real news footage, the programme features Britain unravelling as Mr Farage rolls out his right-wing policies.
Border guards are portrayed forcibly repatriating illegal immigrants, race riots break out in some cities and Britain prepares to withdraw from the European Union.
In other scenes, pubs are once again filled with cigarette smoke as Mr Farage reverses the smoking ban.
