FORMER Ukip leader Nigel Farage has hit out at the Archbishop of Canterbury, after he said the past year had left a world “awash with division and fear”.

In his Christmas Day sermon, the Most Rev Justin Welby said 2016 had left people facing a future that appeared “less predictable and certain”.

While he did not mention the vote to leave the European Union – the defining UK political event of the last 12 months – his comments drew a sharp retort from Nigel Farage.

In a message to his Twitter followers, he wrote: “Merry Christmas. Ignore all negative messages from the Archbishop of Canterbury and have a great day!”

In his sermon, delivered during a Eucharist service at Canterbury Cathedral, the Archbishop said such uncertainty at a time of widespread material prosperity was a sign people were putting their trust in the “wrong things”.

While technological progress had failed to deliver economic justice, he said, ultimately it was the glory of God which would chase away “the fear of terror … and the economies of injustice”.

“The end of 2016 finds us all in a different kind of world, one less predictable and certain, which feels more awash with fear and division,” he said.
