Nigel Farage has faced a backlash from people from a range both of faith and non-faith backgrounds after criticising the Archbishop of Canterbury.

The former Ukip leader branded Justin Welby’s Christmas message “negative” in a tweet sent on Christmas day.

Merry Christmas. Ignore all negative messages from the Archbishop of Canterbury and have a great day!

In his Christmas sermon, Welby spoke of finding hope in a “different kind of world, one less predictable and certain, which feels more awash with fear and division”.

He spoke of problems facing the world and called on Christians to “do what we can do, with our resources, in our time, at the age and with the capacity we have”, to try to help.
