Nigel Farage

But if you will, I am a connoisseur of party accounts.

That is just an absolutely huge figure.

What that expenditure is, is just, is bizarre more than anything else in that there is no good reason why the Brexit party need to raise £17 million.

There is no really good reason that I can see that they would need to spend nearly £19 million.

There is just so much that we don't know.

There are numbers here which just operate like a black hole.

The other expenditure.

Seven million, which is what we might expect that in a conservative return of a conservative account when they are accounting for 30, 40, 50 million pounds, for example.

For a new party, albeit with a history, it is a huge figure.

So a generous reading of it is that it is a start-up cost.

An ungenerous reading is that it is just an awful lot of money, which we don't really know the provenance of.

We can look through the Electoral Commission database to see, but we don't really know why they have and why they need that much money.

And then if you move on to the accounts immediately afterwards.

immediately following this, they go back to looking like a niche party again.

They go back to looking like a party that raises, they raise one or two million pounds, if that.

I think in one year even, it's not even in the millions yet,

Tice is one of the few people at the very top of these various parties that Farage has led at one point or another who Farage hasn't fallen out with.

We're seeing some truly historic shifts in voting patterns.

I think the results have exceeded the best expectations that I had.

Kemi Badenoch, on these numbers, would lose her seat at the next general election.
