The surprise claim is likely to further boost Ukip in today’s by-election in Kent. The poll already looks certain to give the party another spectacular victory.
Members of the European Parliament demanded the cash – including £680million from British taxpayers – to settle unpaid bills. Anti-Brussels campaign groups were outraged last night about the sudden cash demand.Ukip MEP Jonathan Arnott, the party’s spokesman on the EU budget, said: “It is clear that the EU is beyond reform.
“The only way for Britain to avoid being at the sharp end of more EU bills is to withdraw altogether.” And Jonathan Isaby, of the Tax- Payers’ Alliance, said: “The European Union has gone over-budget, and now wants British taxpayers to help pay the bills. It’s totally unacceptable and the Prime Minister must stand up to these demands.We must get a better deal from Brussels.”
