Farage hits back at calls for Brexit Party funding probe

Nigel Farage has hit back at calls for funding of the Brexit Party to be investigated. Former prime minister Gordon Brown has written to the Electoral Commission to examine if the party has sufficient safeguards on its website to prevent foreign interference in UK democracy. Brexit Party leader Farage said that calls for an investigation "smacks of jealousy" and accused "conspiracy theorists doing their utmost to try and delegitimise what is the fastest growing political movement this country's ever seen".
