Laululinnulle täytyy antaa täydet pisteet rehellisyydestä. Eroporukasta on kuulunut aika vähän realistisia arvoita kovan Brexitin varjopuolista ja tässä nyt sellainen lyötiin pöytään.

Nigel Farage facing investigation by EU authorities over lavish gifts from millionaire tycoon

Exclusive: Brexit Party leader failed to declare £450,000 allegedly spent on him by Arron Banks, MEP claims

Nigel Farage is facing an investigation by European parliament authorities over claims that he failed to declare nearly half a million pounds in gifts from an insurance tycoon under investigation by the National Crime Agency.

It was claimed this week that the Brexit Party leader has been given as much as £450,000 in kind by Arron Banks, including a chauffeur-driven car, rent and bills on a £4.4m Chelsea home, and lavish trips to the United States to meet with right-wing politicians.


But none of the gifts, detailed in invoices seen by Channel 4 News, were declared on Mr Farage’s register of interests with the European parliament, which is designed to prevent MEPs from keeping their conflicts of interests secret.

In a letter seen by The Independent, one of the European parliament’s quaestors – MEPs responsible for the body’s financial and administrative matters – calls on the parliament’s presidency to “investigate these apparent contraventions as a matter of urgency”.


The push for an inquiry comes days before British voters are set to go to the polls for the European parliament elections, with Mr Farage’s Brexit Party thought to be heading for a runaway victory with an anti-EU, anti-establishment message.

“As you will be aware, the code of conduct for members of the European parliament with respect to financial interests and conflicts of interest, in particular Article 6(1) of the implementing measures, makes it clear that members shall disclose their attendance at events organised by third parties where the reimbursement of their travel, accommodation or subsistence expenses, or the direct payments of such expenses, is covered by a third party,” Catherine Bearder, the quaestor who is also a Liberal Democrat MEP, said in the letter to Antonio Tajani, president of the European parliament.


Banks ‘bankrolled Farage’s lavish lifestyle with £450,000 funding’
“I can see no reference to any of the reported travel or accommodation subsidies related to Mr Farage’s US tour on any of his declarations of financial interests on the parliament’s website.” She noted that Mr Banks was “currently under investigation by the National Crime Agency over the source of his funding for the Brexit campaign”.

Under European parliament rules, Mr Farage could be fined up to around €10,000 (£8,800) through withholding of his subsistence allowance if he is found to have broken the rules. He could also be suspended from “all or some of the activities of parliament for a period of between two and 30 days” – though his right to vote cannot be removed.

Nigel Farage continues to dodge questions surrounding funding from Arron Banks. A well-placed European parliament official told The Independent an investigation would likely lead to Mr Farage being fined if he was found to have broken the rules. Last year, in a separate run-in with expenses rules, Mr Farage had his MEP salary docked by more than £35,000 to recoup misspent EU funds intended for the staffing of his office.

Ms Bearder told The Independent: “Nigel Farage says he is a man of the people standing up to a corrupt elite, but he has been less than transparent about his lavish lifestyle. I hope there will now be a thorough parliamentary investigation to establish why these alleged trips and subsidies were not declared in accordance with parliamentary rules.”

Nick Aiossa, director of the NGO Transparency International EU, told The Independent: “These revelations of Mr Farage’s US tour to attend the Republican convention and meeting Trump indicate he has not been adhering to the rules on declaring financial interests. The European parliament needs to immediately investigate the matter.”


The Brexit Party has not responded to a request for comment on this story at the time of publication.

Farage told Channel 4 News “no comment” on their investigation, but later told the BBC: “Whatever happened after the referendum – I was leaving politics, it happened mostly in America, it had nothing to do with politics, nothing to do with the Brexit Party, it was purely on a personal basis. I was looking for a new career and a new life – it’s got nothing to do with anything, it’s a purely private matter.”

However, Mr Farage remained an MEP and continued to draw his MEP’s salary throughout the whole period, meaning the gifts would likely have had to have been declared under transparency rules.

Asked if he had declared the money with the European parliament authorities, he said: “Of course not, it’s a purely private matter, non-political in absolutely every way.”

Mr Banks said: “Channel 4’s attempts to smear myself and Nigel come at a time when the Brexit Party is riding high in the polls, so it should come as no surprise to anyone.”

Farage joutui pirtelöattentaatin kohteeksi kampanjamarssillaan Newcastlessa

Nigel Farage hit by milkshake during Newcastle walkabout
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-tyne-48339711
Nigel Farage had milkshake thrown at him during a campaign walkabout.

The Brexit Party leader had just given a short speech in Newcastle as part of a tour of the country ahead of the European elections.

A man was dragged away by a police community support officer and later seen in handcuffs.

Paul Crowther, 32, from Throckley, Newcastle, said it was a £5.25 Five Guys banana and salted caramel milkshake.
...
Mr Farage is the the latest victim of a protest which has seen other European election candidates such as Ukip's Carl Benjamin and ex-English Defence League leader Tommy Robinson suffer similar attacks.

He was heard to comment "complete failure... I could have spotted that a mile off" and "how did you not stop that?"as he was ushered away by his security staff.

One of his team was also heard to say "sorry" as Mr Farage was walked to his taxi and then driven away from the event, where he had met voters by the city's Grey's Monument.

Toisaalla BBC:llä myös hauska huomio Faragesta, jolla on ilmiselvästi kiire pois Britanniasta. Tämä siis sössöttää rahoista, jotka on saanut brexiteerirahapäälliköltä ja jättänyt ilmoittamatta niistä Euroopan parlamentille.

...
During his speech, Gordon Brown also attacked Nigel Farage for receiving £450,000 from Leave campaigner Arron Banks while still a member of the European Parliament.

Mr Brown said The Brexit Party leader should have declared the payments he was receiving "to avoid a conflict of interest".

Asked about it following an investigation by Channel 4 News, Mr Farage said he did not declare it to the European Parliament because he was about to leave politics and had been seeking a new life in the US.

Maikkarin uutisissa puhuttiin jotain että nyt neljännellä kerralla ois hyväksytty uus brexit äänestys...tai jotain sellasta, en ymmärtänyt siitä vittujakaan kun sitä sivukorvalla kuuntelin. Suomentakaa kiitos

Maikkarin uutisissa puhuttiin jotain että nyt neljännellä kerralla ois hyväksytty uus brexit äänestys...tai jotain sellasta, en ymmärtänyt siitä vittujakaan kun sitä sivukorvalla kuuntelin. Suomentakaa kiitos

may liitti äänestyksen uuteen esitykseensä. eli jos house of commons hyväksyy mayn ehdotuksen niin sitten äänestetään pidetäänkö toinen kansanäänestys. toista kansanäänestystä ei tulla pitämään, tuo on vain semmonen kikka millä may muuttaa sopimustaan tarpeeksi että siitä päästään äänestämään uudestaan. todennäköisesti mayn diili ei tälläkään kertaa mene läpi jolloin may voi sanoa että toista kansanäänestystä ei haluta ja se oli se syy miksi hänen diiliään ei hyväksytty ja jos jostain syystä mayn diili meneekin läpi niin tuolla ei löydy kannatusta toiseen kansanäänestykseen jolloin sitä ei järjestetä

[torakka/väyrynen]

May sanoi tänään, että parlamentti voi päättää uudesta brexit-kansanäänestyksesä osana 10 kohdan diiliä, kts. kohta 9:

How May summed up her "New Brexit Deal' in 10 points

Here is the section from May’s speech in which she summed up her offer as a 10-point plan.

So our New Brexit Deal makes a ten-point offer to everyone in Parliament who wants to deliver the result of the referendum.

One - the government will seek to conclude alternative arrangements to replace the backstop by December 2020, so that it never needs to be used.

Two - a commitment that, should the backstop come into force, the government will ensure that Great Britain will stay aligned with Northern Ireland.

Three - the negotiating objectives and final treaties for our future relationship with the EU will have to be approved by MPs.

Four - a new workers’ rights bill that guarantees workers’ rights will be no less favourable than in the EU.

Five - there will be no change in the level of environmental protection when we leave the EU.

Six - the UK will seek as close to frictionless trade in goods with the EU as possible while outside the single market and ending free movement.

Seven - we will keep up to date with EU rules for goods and agri-food products that are relevant to checks at border protecting the thousands of jobs that depend on just-in-time supply chains.

Eight - the government will bring forward a customs compromise for MPs to decide on to break the deadlock.

Nine - there will be a vote for MPs on whether the deal should be subject to a referendum.

And ten – there will be a legal duty to secure changes to the political declaration to reflect this new deal.

All of these commitments will be guaranteed in law – so they will endure at least for this parliament.

Oottekste muuten tajunnu että Theresa May on ollu pääministeri vasta vuodesta 2016 eli kolme (3) vuotta? Tuntuu siltä että se ois oikeesti lähempänä 300 vuotta.
