2019 European Elections: Watchdog defends Brexit Party scrutiny
The Electoral Commission has defended visiting The Brexit Party's offices to review how the party receives funding.
But the watchdog said there had been"significant public concern" about the way the party raises funds. However, Mr Farage dismissed that attack as a"smear" and suggested there might be collusion between the Electoral Commission and Mr Brown.He said the commission had declared itself"absolutely happy with our system" last week, but had changed position"in an act of bad faith, beautifully timed to coincide with Gordon Brown's speech".
At an event in Glasgow on Monday, Mr Brown said there was no way of telling whether donations to The Brexit Party - which can be made through PayPal - come from British or foreign sources, and therefore he suspected the system was being abused.
