"Mr President, for 15 years I have heard members of the UK Independence Party (UKIP) come here and attack the European Union, but in reality, as we all know, they take their money while doing precious little to defend the ‘interests’ they hold dear.
Their attendance record is dire. They are not here when it matters. We have seen Nigel Farage, their leader, turn up to the Committee on Fisheries for the first time ever, only to resign, ‘exhausted’, after three hours’ voting. Paul Nuttall, their deputy leader, serves on the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety, alongside me. In four years I have seen him turn up to vote on just one occasion. That was last July, on the amendments to the Tobacco Products Directive and, in particular, on electronic cigarettes. His sole attendance in that committee only came after UKIP had received a donation of GBP[nbsp ]25[nbsp ]000 from a manufacturer of electronic cigarettes.
So now we know it – GDP[nbsp ]25[nbsp ]000 in political donations. That is the price of a UKIP vote. Let us remember that next time they try to lecture us all and claim the moral high ground."@en1
