Nigel Farage: I Can Spend My EU Allowances As I See Fit

Nigel Farage has hit back over EU expenses claims saying he can spend his taxpayer-funded allowances "as he likes".

The UKIP leader said that the allegations made by The Times newspaper were "erroneous", saying the £60,000 he had received since 2009 for running his office in Lyminster, West Sussex, was legitimate and that he did not have to account for how it was spent.

In an interview with Sky's Dermot Murnaghan Mr Farage accused the newspaper of "conflating" his EU allowances with the row over expenses claimed by MPs at Westminster, which he said was an entirely different matter.
