This from the Spectator.

Oh dear, looks like Mike Gapes of Change UK was caught out of its UK funding.

With less than a month to go until the EU elections, and with Nigel’s Brexit Party surging in the polls, pressure is continuing to build on Change UK - the Independent Group, who performance has been far less impressive than its rival.

Seeking to change that, was Change UK MP Mike Gapes, who went on Iain Dale’s LBC radio show to sell his party to the public. The former Labour MP started off strongly, by attacking the source of the Brexit Party’s funds, saying:

“Well, it’ll be interesting to see the huge amounts of funding Nigel Farage has had from various dubious sources”

Unfortunately, it was quickly pointed out to Gapes that the Brexit Party had already revealed that it received one large donations of £200,000, but was otherwise funded by 90,000 donations of £25.

By comparison, would Change UK tell the public where it was getting its money from? Apparently not. Although Gapes suggested that ‘all political parties need to be transparent about our sources of income and where we are getting it from’, but when asked how many donations his party had actually received, he could only reply:

“I don’t know. I honestly can’t tell you how many donations we’ve had. I know we’ve had lots of small donations from people and our whole campaign is being funded by the money that is donated by people who believe that we need to remain in the European Union."


Doh! What an idiot.

So the skint slime all Farage won’t reveal who’ finding him and comes up with pathetic excuses

In nearly 20 years as an MEP he failed to work for the best interests of the UK in Europe and spent what little time he was actually there just trying to disrupt the EU. Truly disgusting behaviour .

Yes JB I watched half of it and will watch it all I had to take Chloe out...
On the UK's side I observed a lack of urgency and real commitment,
..on the EU's side petty rivalries between Verhofstadt who represents the EU Parliament with his 'steering group'( and who gave the impression he was concerned about being sidelined and thought he should be in charge of the whole thing ) and the EU Commission and Barnier.

There was an air of incredulity from the EU at the outset that we would dare to consider leaving and also animosity and ill will some on the steering group.

All in all I wouldn't trust any of them to run a parish council meeting let alone to preside over our departure from the EU.

Time to forget about negotiations if this is the best that can be offered in terms of of EU brains and just leave.

Hi

I think that the most telling thing is that the EU Idiots have still managed to run rings around our idiots.

To be outwitted by the likes of Juncker annoys me.

It is to be hoped that our next negotiating team is composed of more intelligent and focused politicians.

It might be lead by Corbyn and Abbott..

Yes watched it all

Interesting they do not understand the Irish situation at all

Verhofstadt was upset that his country was where the rest of Europe came to fight its wars well get over it

Time to bomb the lot of them job sorted

The best interest for the UK is out of the EU - Farage has done a brilliant job of that. All Farage has to do is report his donors to the electoral commission - he has met all his obligations but if a person wishes to remain anonymous, then that wish should be respected, which he has also done.

I'm sure Farage's donor who gave them the 100K is a UK citizen, a UK registered company and with a UK address. It's not like Gina Millers grubby remain campaign to try and shaft UK democracy by accepting 400K from George Soros - who, incidentally is Hungarian.

I take it that you will campaign for a remain party to become an MEP ? If not, why not ?

Is it because you can't be bothered, you're not up to the job, or both ?
