The British public trusts Nigel Farage on the economy more than Labour's Ed Miliband or Ed Balls, a Comres poll conducted on behalf of ITV News has found.

The survey asked 2,053 British adults who they would trust to see through the current economic situation, if any.

While Conservatives David Cameron (33%) and George Osborne (27%) were chosen as most trusted by respondents, Ukip leader Farage was slightly ahead (18%) of both Labour leader Miliband (17%) and his shadow chancellor Ed Balls (15%).
