Farage, who has been an MEP for 18 years, has one of the worst attendance records at the parliament in Brussels and Strasbourg. He is ranked 748 out of 751 MEPs and has taken part in only 37% of votes in the current parliamentary session, according to VoteWatch Europe.

The European parliament has played an unsung role in Ukip’s success, giving the party funding and a platform it struggled to get in British elections. European parliamentary authorities have in recent years paid closer attention to how MEPs spend EU funds, after years of assuming parties would do the right thing.

In 2016 a Ukip-dominated group was denied €501,000 in EU funds after it emerged European money had been funnelled into the attempts to win Farage a seat in the 2015 UK general election.

Farage told the journalist Michael Crick last September that he had not been paid his MEP salary for several months because of the dispute over Ukip spending, but the parliament source said that was not true.

Marine Le Pen is under formal investigation by French magistrates, after she refused to repay nearly €300,000 of EU funds, following a European parliament investigation into EU funds spent by the far-right Front National leader.

I bet the EU auditors had a cheeky smile after all the moaning Farage has done about EU accounts.

Oh, suddenly the EU can add!

No matter; I'm sure Farage and Le Pen have not been targeted for political reasons.

If you have done no wrong you have nothing to fear.

Unless it is a german auditor who enjoys schadenfreude.

Farage's ivory tower is starting to crumble.

He admitted this morning that after his meeting last week he is now certain there will be no "good" deal with the EU.

Slightly different to his stance that europe needs us.

Do please describe the universe in which Farage is not a fascist, racist, and bigot. Is it the same Land of Narnia where you live?

Its called normality.
Its not nice when democracy doesn't go your way is it? You sound like a thrashing toddler in a branch of Smyths.

Anyone would think all his bleating about the EU wasting and mismanaging funds was a simple case of projection - like everything else Farage whines about.

Think Karma is catching up with Farage.

He stirred the pot for Brexit and then ran away as soon as the hard work of implementation began. Only did half a job. Like a builder who knocks your conservatory down and then f*cks off home and turns his phone off.
