A former Ukip MEP claims Nigel Farage left her trembling after putting his fist in front of her face during a furious outburst.
Nikki Sinclaire, who left Mr Farage’s party and now sits as an independent, claimed the Ukip leader has a “violent temper” and has fallen out with a string of MEPs.
The party is hostile to women and used to hold meetings in gentlemen’s clubs, Ms Sinclaire claimed.
A party spokesman declined to comment on the allegation Mr Farage had put his fist in her face during an outburst.
She told the BBC: “I’ve been a victim of violence from Nigel Farage, assault in the European Parliament.”
“It was physical and verbal that made me tremble. He didn’t hit me – that’s battery. Assault is where someone puts their fist in front of someone’s face and threatens you.”
She said the party was unwelcoming to women.
“You will not find a senior women who has been there fore more than five years. When I was on the national executive we had meetings in gentlemen’s clubs: that was there attitude towards women.”
She went on: “Nigel Farage has been an MEP for 15 years; in that time there has been 19 other UKIP MEPs and he has fallen out with 11. In this Parliament in the last five years, the 12 MEPs he brought back to Brussels, he has fallen out with six.”
She said the party had achieved nothing since it was first elected to Brussels in 1999, and the party’s allies in the EU parliament included Holocaust deniers.
She denied she had a vendetta against the party.
“My mine purpose in life is to get a referendum on Britain’s membership of the European Union.”
Ms Sinclaire represents the West Midlands and is currently on bail on fraud charges relating to her parliamentary expenses.
Earlier this month she used parliamentary privilege to claim Mr Farage had employed his wife and former mistress on the Brussels payroll.

Farage has desperately sought to defend himself against the facts pertaining to his dishonesty having promised on Meridian TV never to employ members of his family and assuring the voters in the run up to election that no member of UKIP if elected would ever employ members of their families and was not only the first to break this ‘cast iron promise’ by employing his wife @ some £30K pa of tax payers’ money but went on to lie on TV in debate with Nick Clegg that he had never promised not to employ family WHICH WAS A BLATANT LIE.
We then note Farage made much of claims that Nikki Sinclaire MEP, who had resigned from the party as unwilling to support Farage’s anti homosexual stance and his overt support of racism and corruption, he has denounced her on the grounds that she is on bail whilst the police seek a way to save face having accepted dishonest allegations from UKIP that she had used her accounts fraudulently over 2 years ago and on which subject it is over 18 months since she was in any way questioned by the police! Let us not forget that on more than one occasion Nigel farage has been officially investigated and has been found guilty of fraudulent use of tax payers’ money, unlike Nikki Sinclaire who has never been investigated officially by OLAF for the EU!
Let us also note that Farage tried to imply that when Nikki Sinclaire denounced the fact that he was employing both his wife and at least one of his mistresses at the tax payers’ expense particularly in these times of austerity she had acted in some sort of inappropriate manner in doing so in The EU Parliament – let us not forget this has been the method of denunciation of many politicians whom Nigel Farage has sought to insult or berate – not least of whom was Barrott when he denounced his criminality or Barrosso for his unelected and profligate stance, or the obvious incompetence and unelected status of Mrs. Ashton etc. etc.
UKIP had an excellent and popular cause yet it has done little to promote it and has a very small following out of the some 40% of opponents to EU membership and have resoundingly failked the EUroSceoptic movement.
In fact it is impossible to name a single achievement of UKIP under Farage’s leadership that is of any consistent value to the cause of Leave_The_EU – even going so far as to try to sabotage efforts to gain sufficient signatures to ensure a House of Commons debate on membership of The EU and forcing a Referendum on David Cameron when Nikki Sinclqire’s efforts caused the largest rebelluion of Tory voters in the House – as Nigel Farage dishonestly and shamefully turned up on the day to try to pretend he and his party had had something to do with the achievement!
Indee the higher up the tree this particular monkey climbs the more one realises how unattractive the view is!
