Labour calls Nigel Farage ‘out of touch’ over ‘small’ £100,000 donation

LABOUR has accused Nigel Farage of being “out of touch” and “elite” after the Brexit Party front man described £100,000 as a “small donation.”

Mr Farage refused to say who the money was from yesterday on the grounds that “it’s irrelevant, it’s a small donation of £100,000.”

“If I tell you the name of this person you will hound him – all of you will be outside his house for the next three weeks,” he told Sky News.

The former commodities trader promised to reveal the donor’s identity at the end of July, after the European elections.

A Labour Party spokesperson said: “We need to know who’s funding our political parties.”

Mr Farage claimed the Brexit Party had raised “nearly £2 million in twenty five pounds from individual donors” and asked “who’s funding Change UK?”

Change UK has received donations from retired businessman Sir David Garrard, who is simultaneously bankrolling deputy Labour leader Tom Watson.
