Hi,

Sit does seem Ukip is doomed to always be led by fantasists, philanderers, frauds & liars Henry Bolton may well have been married 3 times but he is very clearly the third in a row, it seems his CV is as packed with distortions and outright lies just as were the CVs of Paul Nuttall, Nigel Farage the EU lobby interests of Diane James and the unprincipled drivel in David Bannerman’s litany of nonsense & as for competence & integrity Farage’s stand in Malcolm Lord Peerson was no beacon of light!

Surely the time has come for Ukip to appoint someone to their ranks with some competence with Google if nothing else, to vet applicants.

It is absolutely clear that even as a failed party like Ukip – driven to failure by the utter incompetence of the showy motor mouth Nigel Farage so redolent of the slick used car salesman, out to make money for himself and failing EVER to build a management team or sound foundations for the party, failing even to provide a sound structure.

Farage built a personality cult on shoddy foundations, which for 20 years I have pointed out would never succeed because of him and would surely fail without him – how right time has proved me to be.

Ukip has now been duped into the latest of a continuum of unsound, unprincipled scoundrels as a leader!

It is clear that Henry Bolton is unfit to to lead a rubber duck on a string around his own bath, let alone lead the rump ruins Farage & Nuttall left of Ukip – in fact comparing Bolton’s CV with the reality and his morals with the image he tried to portray he clearly lacks almost every skill needed to be in politics – he is unfit to represent anything and I wouldn’t even consider him acceptable as a leading light in the ‘Prostitutes’ Collective’ even aided by Arron Banks and his wife?

WHY does Ukip attract such sharlatans and even more concerning how on earth can it be so gullible as to elect them as leaders!

A Danish first wife and a second marriage to a Russian hairdresser before he left his current partner simmering with rage: The inside story of UKIP chief’s THREE failed marriages and his racy new girlfriend, 25

  • Henry Bolton told his wife on Christmas Eve that their marriage was now over
  • Bolton, 54, flew to Austria to meet wife Tatiana, 41, and their two young girls
  • He returned to the UK to spend time with his girlfriend Jo Marney, 25
  • The former army officer now has three failed marriages behind him  

When he seized the reins as leader of Ukip in September last year, Henry Bolton must have seemed like a dream come true to the party faithful.

Ex-soldier, ex-policeman, OBE, husband, father-of-three and all-round good egg, the 54-year-old seemed like the perfect candidate to take the party forward after an undeniably troublesome year.

But, oh, what a difference a few months can make in British politics.

Henry Boton, pictured here with his 25-year-old lover Jo Marney, appeared to be the perfect new leader for Ukip when he was elected by the party in September last yearHenry Boton, pictured here with his 25-year-old lover Jo Marney, appeared to be the perfect new leader for Ukip when he was elected by the party in September last year

The Ukip leader is currently married to Tatiana Smurova-Bolton, 41, with whom he has had two daughters, including Victoria Yekaterina, who was born on a train heading to London

This week, amid revelations of Bolton’s burgeoning relationship with a 25-year-old bottle blonde who refers to herself as the ‘Bad Girl of Brexit’, even his closest allies were left shaking their heads in despair at the prospect of yet another scandal rocking the party.

I say ‘relationship’, because Bolton says that what he has been doing with Jo Marney — who describes herself with varying degrees of accuracy as ‘presenter, music journalist, model, actor and Brexiteer’ — is not an affair.

He insists there is ‘nothing clandestine’ about his romance with Miss Marney, and sources close to Mr Bolton have insisted the relationship did not begin until after his split from his wife, Tatiana Smurova-Bolton, 42.

‘My wife is fully aware of what’s been going on and has been abroad since July,’ he said.

Not so, says Tatiana. ‘All I can say at the moment is that the reports that have emerged are inaccurate. My focus right now is on my children, and at the moment I will not be commenting further, ’ she told the Mail yesterday. Those close to Tatiana are outraged on her behalf.

Mr Bolton married his first wife Karin Dohn who is from Denmark, in the early 1980s

Even Bolton’s own mother, 79-year-old Sheila, has said she is appalled at her son’s behaviour. His three siblings, she added, are also ‘devastated’.

Their despair is perhaps not surprising, for, as the Mail can reveal today, Bolton has been married not twice, as has previously been claimed, but THREE times.

First, there was his Danish ex-wife, Karin Dohn. Bolton met her while serving in the Army in Germany. Their daughter, Hazel-Louisa, was born in Denmark in 1985. She is now 32 — seven years older than Bolton’s new girlfriend.

We can also reveal that Bolton married another Russian, hairdresser Lidia Gouniakova, ten years his junior, in 2002.

He met his current wife, secretary Tatiana Smurova, a few years later when they were both working at The Organisation For Security and Co-operation in Europe in Vienna. They married in Westminster in August 2011.

Their first daughter, Lucinda, was born in 2013. The arrival of their second, Victoria, in May 2016, made the news when Tatiana gave birth on a train not long after it had arrived at St Pancras station. Her husband was said to have cut the umbilical cord as she lay in the carriage.

Unlike this week’s media storm, that heart-warming tale must have seemed a PR dream for Bolton and his Ukip team, adding to his image as unflappable and strong, a man who can stay calm in a crisis.

It certainly stood him in good stead when he put himself forward as a Ukip leadership candidate.

At the time of the leadership elections in September, Bolton made absolutely no mention of his marriage being in trouble.

He even spoke fondly of Tatiana during a radio interview in late October when he discussed the possibility of selling his home to finance his unpaid role as Ukip leader.

Asked how his wife might feel about the loss of their home — a seafront apartment in Folkestone — he said she was ‘nervous and supportive’, a strange comment to make if the marriage was in difficulty.

Yesterday, a Ukip spokesman said Mr Bolton had visited his wife in Austria before Christmas, but returned to the UK on December 24. He then went for a drink with Miss Marney on Boxing Day.

So who is Miss Marney, a woman with a penchant for posting semi-nude snaps of herself online, whose racy image doesn’t fit the mould of archetypal’s politician’s partner?

 

 

Bolton is now in a relationship with model Jo Marney, 25, from Kent, having dumped his wife

Video playing bottom right…
First and foremost, she is an avid Ukip supporter. It is unclear when exactly she first met the rather staid and unremarkable-looking Bolton, but on December 16 she posted a photograph of the politician with his arm around her. The caption read: ‘Fantastic Xmas dinner with our leader Henry Bolton.’

While Bolton has been less than eager to speak about the relationship, outspoken Miss Marney declared: ‘He was in an unhappy marriage and was estranged from his wife. He started dating me and we found we made each other happy.’

So what does Ukip’s high command make of Bolton’s insistence that his romantic high jinks ‘in no way distract me or our party from the vital mission we have ahead’?

Not much, it would seem. As one Ukip source told me: ‘The members are quietly wringing their hands at what’s going on. There is the feeling it is yet another symptom of the party being in slow meltdown.’

According to those who know Miss Marney well, she is unlikely to care a fig what Ukip members — or anyone else — may think of her.

One of her former flames, 51-year-old rocker Nigel Mogg, described her to the Mail this week as an ‘opportunist obsessed with being around famous people’.

Educated at the £18,000-a-year Rochester Independent College and Canterbury Christ Church University, Miss Marney claims to have a first-class Bachelor of Arts degree in multimedia and lives with her mother and stepfather, who ran two construction companies, in a £500,000 detached house in Maidstone, Kent.

Even the most perfunctory glance at her social media reveals a woman who is not shy of the camera.

Aside from the scantily-clad photos she has frequently posted online, many of which were removed this week, there were shots of her posing with celebrities including singer Tom Jones and Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour.

She is understood to have been in a relationship with Gilmour’s cousin, after contacting him through Facebook in March 2016, until they broke up last summer.

In September, she bragged on Facebook of her links to the Gilmour family: ‘I know all the kids well and my ex is a Gilmour. I come from a world of famous people.’

She stuck a photograph of Jeremy Corbyn in place of a fairy at the top of her Christmas tree this year — and regularly shares her outspoken views via social media.

She took a swipe at victims of movie mogul Harvey Weinstein, describing those who complained they had been raped and sexually assaulted as ‘hard done by little rich girls’ and ‘white Hollywood chicks who shagged some fat old man for a part in a movie’.

She has also described Grenfell Tower, where 71 people died in a fire in June, as ‘a nest of illegal immigrants of all varieties’, writing: ‘That’s why they can’t identify most of them.’

And despite her claims to have worked for U.S.-based publication Altarboy Music from April 2012 to the present day, an executive there told the Mail she had never been more than an intern for a few days.

‘She has never been a writer for us,’ he said.

Miss Marney does, however, appear to have devoted much of her time to the music world.

Nigel Mogg, lead singer for LA-based band The Brutalists, told the Mail this week that Marney contacted him out of the blue when she was 17 and was texting him within a day. He said their relationship became sexual when he came to the UK on tour: ‘I made her show me her ID to make sure I couldn’t get into trouble.’

He added: ‘She was always asking me for the phone numbers of famous people in some pretty big bands that I know.’ However, Miss Marney denied this yesterday.

‘She was way too volatile,’ Mogg said. ‘She upset so many of my friends that I was apologising for her the whole time.’

Mark Thorn, 46-year-old lead singer of band Neon Animals, said Miss Marney sent him unsolicited friend requests on Facebook.

‘She sent me flirty messages saying: “You’re hot”, and a picture of herself in her underwear. I replied that I had a girlfriend but that did not seem to bother her.’

A Ukip spokesman told the Mail yesterday that Miss Marney has no recollection of Mr Thorn. However, another former associate in the music industry told the Mail: ‘I feel bad for this Ukip dude as this chick is nuts.’

None of this bodes well for Henry Bolton, who was wearing his slippers when he came to the door of Miss Marney’s home this week.

Speaking about his new relationship, he said: ‘Whilst I fully accept that as a national political figure I can expect to be the subject of media attention, I also believe that we’re all entitled to a certain degree of privacy.’

Born in Kenya and raised in Thatcham, Berks, Bolton’s professional image was scandal-free until Jo Marney crossed his path.

After leaving school, he attended the Royal Military Academy in Sandhurst and passed out as best overall cadet.

As a soldier with the Royal Hussars, he has served in Germany, Belize, Cyprus and Bosnia. He later spent nine years as a Thames Valley Police officer and was commended for bravery.

But it was for his work as a leading international security expert that Bolton earned his OBE.

He received particular praise for his work for the British Government in Afghanistan from 2010 to 2012, helping the country re-group and work against the Taliban.

Speaking to her local paper, the Newbury Weekly News, not long before her son received his OBE in 2013, his mother, Sheila, said: ‘He has done things no one else in their right mind would have done. We are very proud of him.’

Bolton was a former soldier, former policeman, an OBE as well as a married family man 

Bolton was a former soldier, former policeman, an OBE as well as a married family man 

Former Ukip leader Nigel Farage was equally full of praise for Bolton following his shock victory in last year’s Ukip leadership election.

‘He’s a guy of achievement and a man of substance’, adding that he was a ‘solid, sensible, decent, non-extreme human being’.

But that was before this week’s revelations about Miss Marney.

The Ukip source who spoke to the Mail this week said: ‘It’s pretty foolish saying they deserve a private life while dating a Brexit campaigner who has posted pictures of them all over social media.’

Bolton is said to have been in the process of introducing his new girlfriend to Ukip party donors when news of their relationship broke. Goodness knows what they make of their new leader’s antics.

The revelations come as the party is in dire financial straits and membership levels are falling.

‘Lack of money in the party is a major problem,’ said the Ukip source. ‘He has to get their approval. Everything has gone horribly wrong. The way things are going, there’s a significant risk of the party ceasing to exist in a year or two.’

Indeed, if Henry Bolton was once seen as the ‘safe pair of hands’ who would turn around Ukip’s fortunes, then those who elected him could be forgiven for wondering if they made the right choice.

Hi,

It is interesting to note that not only is Vladimir Bukovsky a long term associate and supporter of senior Ukip executives and members amongst whom are the Ukip MEP Gerard Batten and before him David Lott – Bukovsky was very much a prime mover for Ukip actively campaigning with Ukip to encourage people in Ukip to break the law regarding TV licensing, but with no willingness to support them when their case was inevitably lost!

To QUOTE a Court Reporter:

Vladimir Bukovsky, 74, pictured, would ‘constantly’ download indecent material of children, with a particular emphasis on young boys, over a 15 year period, Cambridge Crown Court heard.

Now we see Gerard Batten’s long term staff member Pavel Stroilov’s efforts to drum up support from foreigners to interfere with British justice designed to protect children from sexual abuse world wide. Clearly it is not unreasonable to suppose a Ukip MEP has sanctioned, if not supported, this blatant attempt to assist Bukovsky’s paedophelia!

Do note the act outside the Courts and compare it with the photo chosen for Stroilov’s petition, minded that the Courts did not seem to believe the act!

BUKOVSKY, Vladimir 02 + Pavel STROILOV 02

В поддержку Владимира Буковского (In Support for Vladimir Bukovsky)

“Обвинения Владимиру Константиновичу – это просто результат пропагандистской кампании по очернению его имени, ничего больше за этим нет, и не стоит ожидать, что что-то обнаружится. Думаю, со временем выяснится, кто именно инициатор этой кампании. Нормальные люди в это не верят в силу его безупречной репутации. Вся его жизнь – история того, как на него клеветали. Его называли и террористом, и сумасшедшим, и кем угодно, теперь обвинили в сексуальных извращениях, разве что в колдовстве еще не обвиняли” –  Павел Строилов (link)

“Accusations against Vladimir Konstantinovich are simply the result of a propaganda campaign to denigrate his name, nothing more is behind it, and we should not expect anything to come out. I think it will eventually become clear who the initiator of this campaign is. because of his impeccable reputation. His whole life is the story of how he was slandered, he was called a terrorist, and he was crazy and anyone else, now he was accused of sexual perversions, except that they did not accuse witchcraft yet.” – Pavel Stroilov

To read some of the background of this sordid pervert and his ducking and diving to try to avoid justice – when it would seem there is little or no doubt of his guilt, well cle4arly the judges, police and others in the British legal system believe it is a very sound case of at very least child sexual pornography. Whether Vladimir Bukovsky and his Ukip associates are guilty of filming their own activities with children is a matter for the courts.

A former UKIP councillor from Stowmarket arrested on suspicion of murdering his wife has been charged this morning.

Suffolk police arrested 64-year-old Stephen Searle following the death of his wife Anne, 62, in The Brickfields, Stowmarket.

Officers were called at around 10.30pm on Saturday, December 30, to find a woman who was unresponsive.

Paramedics from the East of England Ambulance Service attended, but the woman was declared dead at the scene.

She has been formally identified as Anne Searle.

A Home Office post mortem was carried out on Sunday, with more tests to be carried out.

Police arrested Searle, who lives at the same address, and after a 12-hour custody extension granted yesterday, has been charged with murder this morning.

He will appear at South East Suffolk Magistrates’ Court in Ipswich this morning.

Searle stood for the UKIP party in the Suffolk County Council elections, securing a seat for Stowmarket South in May 2013.

His election material said he was a former Royal Marine commando.

In May last year he stood again but lost to Conservative Mid Suffolk council leader Nick Gowrley.

He also ran as a UKIP candidate for the Central Suffolk and North Ipswich seat in a bid to become an MP, but finished last of the five candidates, including Conservative MP Dan Poulter who retained the seat.

Hi,

it may seem a little harsh to make any issue of the Ukip association with this murder BUT when you consider the fact that the main UK political parties between them hold over 19,000 elected offices and were any of them arrested for murder the connection with their party would be noted.

The issue here is of the very few elected offices held by a collapsing fringe party like Ukip, which clearly punches above its weight in the meeja and sets such store by publicity that one of that miniscule number is arrested for murder must be seen as more newsworthy than had it been n individual from a large party of consequence.

Murder probe launched after wife of former UKIP councillor found dead at marital home

 SEALE, Stephen - 01
Former Royal Marine and UKIP councillor, Stephen Seale is being questioned by police Credit: Facebook

A murder investigation has been launched after the wife of a former UKIP councillor was found dead at their Suffolk home.

Anne Searle, 62, died at the four-bedroom property she shared with Stephen Searle, 64, who stood for UKIP in last year’s General Election.

Mr Searle is a retired Royal Marines Commando, who sold poppies for the British Legion.

He was elected to Suffolk County Council in 2013, winning the Stowmarket South seat by a single vote.

Police were called to an address in Stowmarket shortly after 10pm on Saturday night and discovered the body of his wife of more than 40 years.

Suffolk Police said a 64-year-old man, who was known to the victim was arrested on suspicion of murder.

The force refused to say if the suspect was Mr Searle.

The couple have three sons and several grandchildren.

It was not known how Mrs Searle, a former pub landlady, died and police said a post-mortem examination would take place in the coming days.

Mr Searle, who was originally from Scotland, lost his council seat in May’s election, coming fourth behind the Tories, Liberal Democrats and Labour.

Speaking after his election, Mr Searle said: “It’s superb to be fighting again for my country, and my people.”

 

Before retiring the couple ran a pub, known as the Stag Tavern in Stowmarket, but they sold it in 1992.

Two police officers also stood guard outside the front door of the property, which sits on a corner plot of the quiet residential cul-de-sac.

Christmas lights were still hanging from the porch and a festive wreath could be seen pinned to the front door.

Neighbours described their shock after hearing news of the tragedy in the quiet cul de sac.

Neighbour Richard Hallett, 40, said: “I saw the ambulance at about 11pm. There was one ambulance and two rapid response vehicles and three police cars.

“I was watching tv and heard something so I looked out of the window and thought ‘where did that come from?’.

“I thought the gentleman from the house where the woman died worked with the Salvation Army and did the poppy collection.

“He seemed like a nice bloke. We tend to get the poppies from him.”

Another resident, who asked not to be named, said: “I saw a load of flashing lights outside and

thought something must have happened

“I never imagined it could be something like this. What an awful thing to happen at this time of year.

 

“I hope at the very least it was just a tragic accident and not murder, that would just be devastating.”

A spokesman for The East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust (EEAST) said: “We received a call at 10.22pm on 30th December to The Brickfields, Stowmarket, to a report of a woman who was not breathing.

“An ambulance crew, ambulance officer and rapid response vehicle were dispatched.

“They treated a woman in cardiac arrest. Despite their best efforts, the patient sadly died at the scene.

A spokesman for Suffolk Police said: “The suspect is a 64-year-old man from Stowmarket, arrested at the scene of the crime shortly after police arrival.

“He has been taken to Bury St Edmunds Police Investigation Centre for questioning. The victim and suspect are believed to have been known to each other.”

The force added: “”Police were called to an address in The Brickfields at 10.20pm.

“On arrival at the property a woman, believed to be aged in her 60s, was discovered unresponsive.

“Paramedics attended the address but the woman was declared deceased at the scene.

“The death is being treated as suspicious and a man has been arrested on suspicion of murder.

“A police cordon is in place at the property whilst officers carry out an investigation.”

Hi,

Known as “Posh George” by Farage and his entourage, Cottrell is the nephew of Lord Hesketh, a former Conservative party treasurer who later defected to the more radical right-wing UKIP. His mother, Fiona Cottrell, was reportedly a former girlfriend of Prince Charles.

After Cottrell was released from federal prison in the U.S., former UKIP candidate and party supporter William Cash wrote a sympathetic profile for The Daily Telegraph. As part of a detailed interview, it offered an account of how Cottrell got mixed up in dark web fraud that was radically different from the sworn testimony he gave in court. The article claimed he was approached at his bank by two American businessmen who wanted to sell their property portfolio. His guilty plea, by contrast, admitted that he had offered illicit money laundering services on a TOR site.

While the interview seemed keen to paint a more understanding picture of Cottrell—a young man who got into trouble after struggling with gambling—it does also fill in some of the questions around why Cottrell would prove useful to Farage. It was apparently not just his family connections that secured his job; he was said to have “learned about the murky and complicated world of `shadow banking,’, secret offshore accounts and sophisticated financial structures” while he worked at a private bank.

“It was these skills that landed Cottrell an unpaid role” at UKIP according to Cash, who explained that Cottrell went on to work “for an offshore private bank (which was under investigation by the U.S. authorities as a `foreign financial institution of primary money-laundering concern’).”

A LinkedIn page in Cottrell’s name is careful not to name all of the banks he has worked for. Instead it talks about working for a private bank as a “Client Manager within cross-border private banking division, responsible for onboarding HNWI individuals,” or as an “advisor to the Investment Manager of a Cayman administered fund of funds.”

The LinkedIn account is less secretive about his “interests.” The 41 organizations listed on the profile include Cottrell’s old school and some of the global financial powerhouses you would expect to see on the account of any financier, but there are also some more unusual connections.

Cottrell is listed as one of just 71 followers of Moldinconbank, a controversial Moldovan bank that was alleged to be at the very center of the “Russian Laundromat” scam that laundered billions in illicit funds from Moscow through fraud, rigged state contracts and tax evasion. Some of those laundered state funds reportedly went to pay foreigners who were acting on behalf of the Kremlin, such as the leader of a small Polish political party who was later arrested on charges of spying for Russia.

The Daily Beast asked the bank whether Cottrell had ever worked with them, but the HR department would only say: “According to the legislation in force, personal data is granted only with the agreement of the employee.”

Another of the Cottrell account’s “interests” is the bank FBME, an entity which was officially based in Tanzania but had foreign offices in two countries: Cyprus and Russia. According to a U.S. investigation the bank was linked to Bashar al Assad and al Qaeda as well as a $230m fraud against the Russian people uncovered by Sergei Magnitsky, which led to a series of anti-corruption laws being introduced around the world in his name. In 2014, the bank was banned from accessing the American market by the U.S. Treasury after money laundering allegations.

The bank was favored by cronies of Vladimir Putin, some of who used accounts to launder Russian money, as well as the oligarch Mikhail Prokhorov, the owner of the Brooklyn Nets NBA team.

The Cottrell account also listed the Russian banks VTB and Alfa Bank, which the FBI is investigating for links to the Trump organization, as well as Banca Privada d’Andorra (BPA)—which was described as a “primary money laundering concern” linked to Russian crime networks by the U.S. Treasury. BPA did not respond to queries about working with Cottrell.

The Daily Beast cannot independently verify that this LinkedIn page was written by Cottrell but a UKIP spokesman confirmed that the entry about his role in the party was accurate. The LinkedIn account is also linked—from and to—a Twitter account in Cottrell’s name, which has 140 followers. Those followers include a host of UKIP or Brexit campaign insiders including Joe Jenkins, Jack Montgomery, Michael Heaver, Jack Duffin, Andy Wigmore and Nigel Farage as well as Farage’s head of press Dan Jukes and UKIP comms chief Gawain Towler. Towler tagged the account after a night out with Cottrell and his old UKIP buddies “making up” in East London after his deportation from the U.S. earlier this year. A UKIP spokesman said he believed that the account was genuine.

Another follower of the @GeorgeSCottrell account is Ben Harris-Quinney, chairman of the Bow Group—Britain’s oldest conservative think tank.

He told The Daily Beast he had only met Cottrell a handful of times but he described a man who made a big impression in a world where most senior party apparatchiks are a fairly uninspiring. “He’s quite a larger than life, engaging character. I got the impression that he was a bit of a swashbuckler—keen on adventure,” he said.

Harris-Quinney caught up with him in the pub after his release. “People were very surprised when he was arrested because it was so bizarre,” he said. “But he seemed in good spirits and appeared to have taken the whole thing in his stride.”

Indeed, as Cottrell told The Telegraph: “Despite my unfortunate adventure, and everything I went through, I still maintain 2016 was the best year of my life… Brexit and Trump. Nothing better.”

Also on his small list of followers is the journalist Isabel Oakeshott who was with Cottrell and Farage when the young aide was arrested by U.S. agents in Chicago.

At the time, she was writing the book Bad Boys of Brexit, nominally authored by Arron Banks, which names Cottrell as one of just four UKIP staffers in the book’s “cast of characters.”

Banks was by far the biggest financial backer of Brexit—first donating to UKIP and then donating and lending millions to Leave.EU, and another Brexit campaign group. Last month, it was announced that Britain’s Electoral Commission was launching an investigation into whether or not Banks was the “true source” of that money.

Two weeks earlier Open Democracy UK published an investigation into Banks’ finances—raising questions over his wealth and claiming he had been in some financial difficulty before finding almost £10 million to put towards securing Britain’s exit from the European Union. “The self-styled ‘bad boy’ who bankrolled the Leave campaign appears to have exaggerated his wealth. So how did he pay for his Brexit spree?” the report asked.

Banks—who was a member of Farage’s small Brexit inner circle, along with Cottrell—is a colorful character who seems to enjoy fanning the rumors that surround him including suggestions that he has been working on behalf of the Russians.

The week before Christmas this year, Banks and Andy Wigmore, a colleague from Leave.EU, sent a journalist a bottle of Stolichnaya vodka with the message “From Russia With Love.”

In his account of the battle to secure Brexit, he delights in bringing up the spy scandal his Russian wife was caught up in in 2010. Ekaterina Paderina, the daughter of a senior Russian official, who speaks six languages, used an email address with 007 in it and drives the Banks’ family Range Rover with the number plate X MI5 SPY. Banks, who runs a private intelligence company, even details in his book a six-hour lunch at the Russian embassy with Farage, his wife and the Russian ambassador.

In his book, he describes Cottrell as “posh to the point of caricature and willfully abrasive,” as well as detailing the fact that it was Cottrell who accompanied Farage as he made his way from meeting to meeting at the RNC.

Banks also describes the moment Cottrell was apprehended at the airport in Chicago in July 2016:

“Five FBI officers cuffed him. They swooped the minute he set foot on the gangway… It was swift and discreet, and he was hauled off without explanation. Nigel was stunned… [Cottrell] was wealthy enough to give his time for nothing, and had proven hard-working and loyal. There was nothing to suggest any criminal connection.”

Two days later, Farage and Banks found out why Cottrell had been led away: “Nasty shock today as Nigel got Posh George’s full rap sheet. It’s not pretty.”

What looked like a maximum of 20 years in jail was ultimately reduced to eight months when Cottrell agreed to plead guilty on December 19, 2016.

After his release there were reports that the former UKIP staffer had been given a short sentence because he passed evidence to the U.S. authorities. It is true that court documents filed by the prosecutors asked the judge to offer a reduced sentence because he cooperated and was willing to “provide federal agents additional information after his arrest.”

 

George Cottrell Mugshot

Officials in the U.S., however, downplayed suggestions that Cottrell had flipped and given key information that might implicate any of his political colleagues as the FBI hunts for a dark money trail connecting Russia, Brexit and the Trump campaign. They said Cottrell would not have been given the lighter sentence and allowed to leave the U.S. if prosecutors were relying on him to give evidence in court.

In the Telegraph interview by a friendly UKIP activist, Cottrell claims that he was lured into the trap while offering to help a customer of his bank. That is entirely inconsistent with the guilty plea he entered in a federal courtroom in Arizona.

His signed declaration said he was snared by undercover IRS-CI agents after proactively offering to help criminals move large sums of money around the world without detection.

“I worked with another individual known as ‘Banker’ to advertise money laundering services on a TOR network black-market website,” he wrote. “I explained various ways criminal proceeds could be laundered—for example, methods to transfer large amounts of cash out of the United States without triggering reporting requirements.”

After his dark web ad attracted the attention of the authorities in March 2014—before he worked for UKIP—Cottrell corresponded with undercover operatives who were posing as drug dealers via the encrypted messaging service Cryptocat before agreeing to travel to Las Vegas to tie up the phony deal.

The federal court heard that Cottrell was extremely well-versed in the intricacies of moving money around. “Cotrel [sic] was surprisingly young—approximately twenty years old at the time—but the IRS-CI agents were impressed with his knowledge of finance, U.S. government procedures, and anti-money laundering laws.”

The question remains, how much of that knowledge was he employing as UKIP’s chief Brexit fundraiser?

Hi,

The Farage staffer, the Russian embassy and a smear campaign against a Kremlin critic

Worker for Farage’s group in EU parliament was ‘frequent visitor to embassy’ and accused of role in propaganda stunt

A senior member of Nigel Farage’s parliamentary group staff in Brussels was known for making trips to the Russian embassy in Belgium and was accused of orchestrating a smear campaign against a critic of the Kremlin, the Guardian has been told.

Two former staffers who worked for Farage’s Europe of Freedom and Direct Democracy group (EFDD) and who spoke to the Guardian on condition of anonymity said a senior member of the group’s staff, a native of Malta named Kevin Ellul Bonici, was known to have a relationship with the Russian embassy.

Ellul Bonici was part of a small team who worked in the administration of the secretariat office at the EFDD until at least 2015. The EFDD would not answer questions about his current status. Several sources said Ellul Bonici was close at that time to Farage, who relied on the core secretariat staff to help manage the EFDD, a rightwing Eurosceptic group that is still led by the former Ukip chief and comprises 45 MEPs.

According to the accounts of two former parliamentary staffers, in June 2015 a top aide to Farage named Michael McManus, who works for the EFDD, claimed to them that Ellul Bonici was a frequent visitor to the Russian embassy and had a relationship with officials there.

“I was told in June 2015 that this gentleman had a relationship with the Russian embassy in Brussels and that every time he came back from the Russian embassy he would return with a bootload of propaganda,” one former staffer told the Guardian.

The remarks were confirmed by another former staffer who also allegedly heard them from McManus.

Ellul Bonici did not respond to questions from the Guardian.

McManus did not respond to requests for comment by phone, text and email.

Ellul Bonici speaks fluent Russian and was educated in the former Soviet Union in the early 1980s, according to a biographical essay he published about his experience.

“Kevin was part of the secretariat, one of Farage’s senior staff members, and he has always kept them very close,” said Gary Cartwright, a journalist who covers the EU parliament and who previously worked in Farage’s parliamentary group.

The new allegation comes as some British MPs have started to raise questions about whether Russia may have sought to influence the Brexit vote.

Theresa May, the British prime minister, has accused Russia of meddling in elections as part of its drive to sow discord in the west.

Farage, a leading force behind the vote to leave the EU, has ridiculed the suggestion. He has also denied taking money from the Kremlin. There is no evidence that Ellul Bonici was ever involved in Farage’s pro-Brexit campaign.

Unlike most conservatives in the UK, who have traditionally taken a tough stance on Russia, the former Ukip chief has been a consistent cheerleader in support of Vladimir Putin, whom he once described as the leader he most admired.

Farage also has a relationship with Dana Rohrabacher, a US congressman from California who, according to a recent report in the New York Times, was seen as such a valuable source of intelligence to the Kremlin that he was given a codename.

Farage’s proximity to pro-Kremlin actors was first made apparent in late 2014, after alleged actions by Ellul Bonici became the source of a complaint.

In December that year, the Maltese staffer walked into the European parliament and distributed hundreds of books to members’ pigeonholes without authorisation, according to the results of an internal investigation that was later conducted by the parliament’s security service.

The book was called Red Dalia, a highly critical biography of Dalia Grybauskaitė, the president of Lithuania and Putin critic, who weeks earlier had referred to Russia as a “terrorist state”.

The EU parliament investigated the incident after a Lithuanian MEP named Antanas Guoga issued a complaint. “I was really concerned that books were distributed by the help of the Russians. Russian propaganda issues are very sensitive in Lithuania and the EU,” Guoga told the Guardian.

A confidential 2015 memo by the EU parliamentary security service that was obtained by the Guardian stated that their investigation had found that Ellul Bonici – who was working at the secretariat of the EFDD – and three other men had distributed the books. The men had entered the parliament with Ellul Bonici. One was a Russian and the other was a Polish citizen who was born in Moscow. The fourth person was never identified.

The Guardian understands that the EU parliament did not take further action.

The EFDD said in a statement at the time that it had not authorised or supported the distribution of the books and that the issue would be subject to an internal review and “adequate follow-up”. Ellul Bonici’s wife, who is a Eurosceptic member of the European parliament and works closely with Marine Le Pen, denied in reports at the time that her husband had been involved.

There is no evidence that Farage knew about Ellul Bonici’s alleged relationship with the Russian embassy or that he knew anything about the Red Dalia stunt.

The EFDD would not answer questions about how long he had been employed and whether he still worked for the group.

A report published by Bloomberg in August 2015 said EFDD had said that the culprit behind the book controversy – who was not named in the story – had been sacked.

But the two former EFDD staffers who spoke anonymously to the Guardian said they believed Ellul Bonici was working on the group’s YouTube channel while they were working in Brussels as late as 2016.

A spokesman for Farage in London declined to respond to questions about Ellul Bonici.

Ellul Bonici’s wife, Sharon, told the Guardian: “My husband is a very private person. He does not speak to the press.” She received several emails with questions but did not respond to them.

Rohrabacher, a conservative Republican, has denied being a Russian asset. A spokesman for Farage declined to respond to questions about their relationship.

Hi,

#Ukip’s MEP RAY FINCH MISSING IN ACTION. HAS HIS FORMER EMPLOYEE MRS FARAGE TURNED #EU SUPERGRASS?

FARAGE, Kirsten 09

An interesting theory has been passed to us by someone well placed. Recently, we posted that UKIP MEP, Ray Finch, had totally deleted his online presence and nobody seems to know why.

Here is what our source had to say:

“Kirsten was working for Finch, who used to be his [Farage’s] driver, so he knows exactly where his boss used to go and where he was. After the second Annabelle Fuller article came out in the Mail on Sunday, I believe Kirsten realised they had conspired to conceal Nigel’s shenanigans and saw this as a total betrayal from a family friend and a professional colleague. Her fury being expressed as a mother, daughter, and betrayed wife.

“A few weeks ago Ray told Michael Crick that he had half his salary suspended by the EU Parliament. As many people know, the estranged Mrs Farage, was on Finch’s staff a ‘parliamentary assistant’ despite never being invited to come to work in the building.

“It is entirely possible that the recent Anabelle Fuller revelations may have compelled Mrs Farage to cooperate with EU authorities. If that’s the case, who knows what information she may hold – given that she was copied on every UKIP internal email for the last ten years!”

Of course, this is just speculation. But who knows what might happen next in the wacky world of UKIP….

Hi,

Bob Spink found guilty of election fraud

  • 2 hours ago

A former Tory MP and UKIP politician has been found guilty of election fraud.

Bob Spink, 69, former MP for Castle Point, Essex, committed the offences during the Castle Point borough council elections in May last year.

A jury at Southwark Crown Court found him guilty of four counts of permitting a false signature to be included on a nomination form for a UKIP councillor.

UKIP agent James Parkin, 38, of Canvey Island, was also convicted.

He was found guilty on two counts of the same charge.

Judge Ian Graham said: “These types of offences are taken very seriously.”

Jurors heard Spink tricked “elderly and infirm” voters into signing the forms in April 2016, without making it clear what the documents were or which party he represented.

The court heard people in Spink’s constituency signed forms believing they were petitions, and having no idea they were supporting the UKIP candidate in the Castle Point council elections.

Spink claimed everything was above board; that residents knew what they were signing; and that he only introduced the topic of the local elections once he had gained their support for his campaign to become a police and crime commissioner (PCC).

The pair were found guilty by majority verdicts. They will be sentenced in the new year. Both men were released on bail.

Mr Spink, from Benfleet, Essex, was Conservative MP for Castle Point from 1992 to 1997, and again from 2001.

In 2008, he defected from the Conservative Party and joined UKIP, effectively becoming its first MP.

Hi,

My Legal Case against UKIP

Welcome

Hello.  My name is Delphine and you can view a short version of my legal case against UKIP here. (3.50 minutes).  I have been banned from UKIP membership and no reason has been given.   I was an active campaigner, travelling the country (with my lovely dog Rusty) to spread the word and assist the parliamentary candidates to victory.  Unjustly treated by the party, I have launched a legal case.  I am seeking your help to continue this fight.  Thank you for taking the time to listen.

About Me

I was a Branch Committee Member and a local UKIP candidate, placed a respectable 2nd.  View my candidacy flyer at the link at the top of this page.

My Story

Hello, my name is Delphine and I need your help.  

I had never, ever, been interested in politics, but became increasingly concerned about our borders opening to more and more European countries.  In September 2013 I joined UKIP and within a couple of weeks I attended my first political Party Conference.  I quickly became very involved in party activism and suggested various ideas to the leaders of my local branch: Runnymede, Weybridge and Spelthorne. I have fundraised extensively for a wide range of charities for over 12 years, and brought many of these transferable skills to the party. 

In January 2015, having been a party member for 15 months, I decided to put my name forward for the position of Chairman at the forthcoming AGM. Over the previous six months I had already planned and successfully delivered fundraising events, an essential party strategy with the forthcoming campaigns ahead. I had also initiated and arranged monthly Public Meetings to encourage enrolment of new members and gain new party activists. There had been none of these type of events during my initial period of membership with the branch.

The AGM

Despite having 6 member nominations, my application was blocked by the two men running the branch. One was the Chairman, ‘appointed’, not elected.  (The two Regional Organisers later admitted I had been blocked from the position – I have this information formally verified).  Complaints about the AGM brought about a special meeting presided over by the two aforementioned Regional Organisers.  They declared the AGM to be null and void, officially announced a split of Runnymede & Weybridge (R&W) branch from Spelthorne and EGM dates were set for both branches.  One of the men who had blocked my application gave his immediate resignation from the R&W branch, and also from his positions as Treasurer, Secretary, Membership Secretary and Candidate for the forthcoming election.  He stated that he would be transferring his membership to the Spelthorne branch.  

The EGM 

I went on to be officially elected as Chairman at the EGM for R&W branch on 31 March.  Two weeks later I discovered that over £3,000 of funds had been withdrawn from the R&W branch account by the aforementioned individual who had transferred his membership to Spelthorne.  He had put this money into his own personal bank accounts.  He had no authority to do this and was not even a member of the branch. I emailed the Regional Organisers about this matter and received no response from either of them.  He remains a party member.  Throughout the summer discord arose between committee members.  An unauthorised meeting was held which resulted in me being removed from the Chairman’s role with the complicit backing of the Regional Organisers. 

Resignations

  

Members of the committee who resigned their positions included: the Agent, Campaign Manager, Parliamentary Candidate, IT specialist (who was setting up a website for the branch), and a target candidate. Two members additionally resigned their Patron membership within the party, one transferring his membership to another branch.  Many branch members wrote to Paul Oakden to protest, saying they wanted me reinstated, but this action ‘fell on deaf ears’ as they say.  Paul Oakden telephoned the Campaign Manager a few days later, stating that he would not overturn the decision.  

AS A DIRECT RESULT OF WHAT HAPPENED TO ME AT LEAST 6 PEOPLE HAVE RESIGNED FROM THE PARTY.  THESE WERE ALSO STALWART, HARD WORKING AND COMMITTED PARTY ACTIVISTS

I next wrote an Appeal to the NEC but the then General Secretary deemed this matter was not sufficiently relevant to be raised at National Executive Committee level. I made an official complaint against one party official, but again this was totally ignored by the General Secretary (in both cases breaking party rules). I learned in December of that year that I was also banned from the Branch Christmas Party.  This was the same event I had initiated and organised the previous year.  

2016

With the next AGM date set for 14th January, and somewhat against my better judgement, I was persuaded to stand again as Chairman (though technically I was still holding this position).  My nomination was sent to the Regional Organiser a week ahead of the vote, and was duly accepted.  I had around 12 people supporting my application.  

The AGM was actually an EGM on the day, despite no notification being sent to the members (another rule broken) and yet again I was blocked from standing for the Chairman position.  With two others, I walked out of the meeting, after handing over our membership cards.  My words were: ‘You can have this’.  I later discovered that after I had left the premises, the rules appear to have been changed and they started the development of a new group, describing it as a Steering Committee.    
At 9.05am the next day I rang UKIP Head Office stating that I DID NOT wish to resign and requesting my membership card be returned to me. I was told I HAD resigned and that was that!  I then emailed the General Secretary on several occasions, copying in the Regional Organisers, and requesting a date for the AGM.  I also asked when we could expect to receive the minutes for the meeting. My emails received no response. There never was an AGM for 2016. (yes, a further party rule broken)   

I heard that once ‘resigned’, a member would be required to wait three months before applying to rejoin. Out of curiosity, I waited three months before emailing UKIP Head Office to enquire about rejoining.  I was told that my membership status was listed as: ‘do not rejoin’.  Despite asking several times for an explanation, I was given no further information.  This unjust dissolution of my party membership status led to my decision to seek legal advice.

My Political Activism for UKIP

In the short time I was with them (2 ¼ years) I attended every Party Conference, including the incredible event at Doncaster with the defection of the MP Mark Reckless.  I had a seat near the front of the stage with my friends Bill and Beryl, cheerfully waving our UKIP banners. I spent five nights in Clacton campaigning for Douglas Carswell.  I visited Rochester three times for Mark Reckless and twice to Thanet for Nigel Farage.  I took my dog Rusty with me every time, proudly wearing his UKIP flag!  

I worked incredibly hard for the Referendum.  I organised and ran numerous Street Stalls and leafletted in every ward in my constituency.  I coordinated campaigning activities for members and arranged Tellers to be available for several polling stations to ensure a UKIP presence for every hour of Polling Day.  

Legal Case 

  
My reasons for this action are as follows:  

1.  To seek justice for my unfair removal from the party.   

2. To highlight and raise awareness of the corrupt conduct of some party members, mostly paid staff, who do NOT appear to have the best interests of UKIP at heart.  

I was told at the onset, and several times since by my legal team that, if successful, I would only win a small amount in compensation.  This has NEVER been about profiting from the party.  I want UKIP to flourish. Our country needs the party more than ever to campaign for a clean Brexit, rather than leaving the EU in name only. This will be hard to achieve unless these self serving party officials are removed.  

18 months later, I am now approaching full litigation.  Full litigation means certain individuals will be subpoenaed to take the stand.  The truth will be revealed and I hope appropriate action is taken by the party.  I am suing the party for Breach of Contract.  In May 2017 there was a Hearing held at the High Court as UKIP had failed to provide certain disclosures to my solicitor.  We won this stage and UKIP was obliged to give my team the relevant information.

However the significant EGM minutes for 14 January apparently ‘can’t be found’ …surprise, surprise!  The other disclosures though have proven highly pertinent to my legal position and will be utilised at the next court session. This Hearing cost me around £15,000.  Hand on heart, I have never broken a single UKIP rule, though there have been many party rules broken by others, a few of which are listed in this message.  

My Funding Target

My costs so far are £26,000 and I only have limited funds remaining.  My solicitor tells me that to continue my costs will be in the region of another £18,000 to £30,000.  This is a great deal of money but I feel it is an important case I am determined to pursue on the side of what is right and fair.  Values I once thought the party would uphold. 

I am therefore asking for your help to enable me to continue. My target is to raise £30,000  so that I can complete this legal action and help put the party back on track. This money will be spent on future legal costs and not used to reimburse me for what I have already spent.  Whatever you are able to give towards this will be most appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Apologies that this is such a long message.  

My case is complex, involving many people and many incidents.  Believe me, this is the short version!  My Witness Statement is 23 pages long and there are over 110 exhibits (copies of emails, meetings etc.)  I would like to pay tribute to my solicitor, David Ludlow of Barlow Robbins in Woking and also my Barrister, David Mitchell, who won against UKIP in the Henke -v- UKIP case in 2014.  Any contribution you can make will be very, very welcome.  I do not want to have to give up on this case, which I am told I have a very good chance of winning.

Hi,

as this letter shows Ukip under its new leader has only dreams to offer as they haemorage members and have no cash to work withand I believe Henry Bolton’s letter is wildly optimistic and hugely overstates the membership levels, or so every election since BreXit clearly shows where every elected seat Ukip has set out to defend or compete with they have resoundingly lost.

Ukip may believe they have over 20,000 members but there is absolutely no evidence that they have even 10,000 to judge by their results and less so when you consider how little money the party has! To add to their woes & probable slow demise is they seem to have no backers of consequence and little to offer in leadership terms either by individuals or as a party.

It is easy to pen a dream as Bolton has shown but there is no evidence and less reality in the hope that the dream will come true.

With the outstanding clawbacks by the EU of money fradulently squandered Ukip not only has no money but little hope of being able to raise money from outside to fund the fraudulently obtained money that is now due to the EU.

FINANCES, ORGANISATION, MEMBERSHIP AND COMMUNICATIONS

On taking office I looked in the money bucket and found it entirely empty. In fact, it was worse than empty; it had a big hole in the bottom. There is no money – in fact, for a year we have been running on an entirely unsustainable monthly deficit.

The party has very few resources and I have inherited no office and no office equipment or staff. As you well know, despite the party sending out information over the summer, the technical flaws in our internal communication systems have meant that many of you haven’t heard anything from the centre for a long time. Likewise, our planning and public profile has been almost non-existent.

UKIP hasn’t had stable Leadership for over a year. I’m now restoring that stability and with it will come confidence.

BOLTON

Our financial health is crucial to our future success and the books must be balanced. This is not a ‘nice to have’ – it is a ‘need to have’. However, balancing the books is no easy task. That said, we have now identified a range of potential savings to our annual running costs. We are also tightening up on the collection of our membership subscriptions. Together these measures should increase the financial health of the party by up to £200,000 per year.

It will take at least three months for these savings to be implemented and take effect and, in the meantime, we must somehow bridge the gap in order to survive. To that end, I would like to ask whether you could donate something to the party. Every little bit helps. Donations can be made by credit/debit card and PayPal via the front page of the new-look party website.

MEMBERSHIP

Recruitment and finances are inseparable. Our day to day running costs are met by membership subscriptions – the more members we have, the more money the party receives through subscription fees and the larger the pool from which we can draw activists and candidates. We will be sending out new instructions at the end of the month regarding recruitment.

As for numbers, for the past 9 months, with one exception, we have lost between 800 and 1,000 members every month. I’m pleased to report that now the net figures have levelled out and presently stand at just under 25,000 (at this time in 2014 we had 22,000 members). So, whilst we may have been losing members, we have also been gaining new members since our conference and many people have re-joined.

LEADER’S GROUPS

As said, I inherited no structures to which I could delegate tasks. I have now established six ‘Leader’s Management Groups’ to help make things happen:

– The Leaders Group (‘L’ Group)

– The Shadow Cabinet (‘O’ Group)

– The Communications Group (‘C’ Group)

– The Events Group (‘E’ Group)

– The Fundraising Group (‘F’ Group)

– The Membership Recruitment Group (‘R’ Group)

1. The Leader’s Group – Tasked to advise the Leader on all matters pertaining to direction and policies of the party and consisting of the senior Shadow Cabinet members and party officers.

2. The Shadow Cabinet – The party’s highest political policy body, tasked with formulating, discussing and determining party political policies and with proposing policies, as necessary, to the membership at conference.

On Friday 17th November I held my first full Shadow Cabinet meeting. I am told it was the first of its kind ever held by a UKIP leader! And, in another UKIP first, it started and ended precisely on time. The Cabinet discussed a range of matters, including the party’s finances and organisation and policy development processes. It focused on the role of Spokesmen, the need for collective responsibility, the need to engage more closely in national politics and the requirement to review and update of the 2015 Election manifesto. The Cabinet will meet every six weeks.

3. The Communications Group – Based on my direction, the Comms Group will define the party’s master messages, enhance the party’s internal and external communications and reinforce its public brand. In addition, the Comms Group is tasked to oversee the implementation of the party’s new Digital Transformation Strategy, which we completed at the beginning of the month. This strategy should, over the next 12-18 months, see an overhaul of our national and branch websites with automatic news updates, the introduction of a new and reliable email system and the creation of an intranet and smartphone app.

4. The Events Group – This Group is tasked with planning and organising all administrative and logistical aspects of national party events (conferences, launches, cabinet meetings etc)

5. The Fundraising Group – The Fundraising Group is tasked with finding imaginative ways in which to increase the party’s income.

6. The Membership Recruitment Group – The Recruitment Group is tasked to increase the membership of the party. Presently the party has 25,000 members. The Group targets are:

– End 2018 – 32,000 members

– End 2019 – 40,000 members

With these groups in place I shall be able to focus much more on re-building the public face and image of our party

CAMPAIGN PLANNING & SUPPORT TEAMS

I have established three Campaign Planning & Support Teams.

– The Elections Planning & Support Team

– The Save our Services Planning & Support Team

– The BREXIT Campaign Team

1. The Elections Planning and Support Team:

We must urgently prepare for the local elections. I am determined that we will never again be unprepared for an election at any level. We will always strive to contest every seat in every local and national election.

To this end, I have established an ‘Elections Planning and Support Team’, headed up by Andrew Charalambous and comprised of ten highly competent campaigners. This team has been tasked by me to provide the national level planning and support to general and local government elections. It is also tasked with improving campaign communication, planning, the provision of training and analysis. You will hear more from Andrew and his team soon.

2. The ‘Save our Services’ Campaign Planning & Support Team

On Thursday 16th November, Mike Hookem MEP and I launched our national campaign to oppose and reverse cuts to our armed and emergency services, to oppose any subordination of the armed forces to the EU and to support our veterans. I also discussed the subject on Daily Politics the same day.

The campaign already has a dedicated website:

Over the next couple of weeks the ‘Save our Services’ will be sending leaflet templates and a link to my speech to all branches so that you can build opposition to the Tory government’s willingness to subordinate our military to the EU into your local campaigning.

The government has been praising our servicemen and women and our emergency services but in reality it’s been stabbing them in the back, cutting their budgets, ignoring their welfare and compromising our security. Those in uniform and in the service of this country deserve better and UKIP is now the only party committed to providing the support they need; the only party committed to protecting our protectors, through BREXIT and beyond.

So please do push this campaign as strongly as you can and integrate it into any other campaigns you may be running in your own area.

3. The BREXIT Campaign Team

The Tories are leading us into longer-term integration with the EU rather than implementing the democratic mandate of the country. They are lost; they are failing to plan and prepare for BREXIT and are making a hash of the whole thing. They are giving away money and are integrating the UK further into the EU when they should be implementing the mandate of the people to do precisely the opposite.

They are betraying the British people. Only UKIP is 100% committed to a real BREXIT. We must refresh, reinvigorate and ramp up our BREXIT messages. If the government cannot plan for BREXIT and beyond, UKIP will.

I have asked our outstanding Spokesman for Exiting the EU, Gerard Batten MEP, to head up a new BREXIT Campaign Team. Gerard and the team will immediately start work with members of the Shadow Cabinet and begin the process of refreshing our BREXIT messages.

My intention is that the party will hold a major BREXIT event in the spring. Further details will emerge from Gerard and the BREXIT Team in due course.

The Leader’s Management Groups and our new Campaign Planning and Support Teams are crucial elements in strengthening much of what we do internally and in ensuring that you, at the sharp end, get more of the support you need
