Nigel Farage visited the prospective constituency of UKIP candidate Peter Harris Friday, as the party made their concerns known about the practices of the Labour Party.
Just hours before, the Soros-funded hard left group ‘Hope Not Hate’ were accused as acting as “Labour attack dogs” in the constituency, helping the Labour party to contest the seat by mobilising manpower and resources in the area to get around campaign spending rules.
The visit came as news reached Mr Farage of the prosecution against Craig MacKinlay, the now Conservative MP who won the seat Farage contested in the 2015 election. The charge, based on the opinion of the Crown Prosecution Service that Mr MacKinlay had broken the law under Representation of the People Act, related to his expenses in the 2015 battle against Mr Farage.
Speaking on the UKIP battlebus, a converted red double-decker, Mr Farage said: “there was industrial cheating, not just in general elections, but in by-elections running up t it, and it was all about one thing, stopping UKIP… sometimes you completely lose faith in the state in this country, nothing will ever change, nobody in the establishment will ever be held to account.
“I did have a sneaking feeling all the way through that the CPS might do something here, and they have. And I think it’s a very good thing”.
