When I said they could be shooting themselves in the foot. I wasn't saying the welfare system doesn't need improving or even a complete overhaul it does but 3 million on sickness or disability payments are not going to vote for them and under the EU-UK Withdrawal Agreement all EU citizens who lawfully resided in the UK prior to the end of the transition period retain their core residency and coordination rights, including access to social security and welfare benefits as do UK citizens living in the EU. The EU will not just sit back and accept it, it's alright saying they will set aside ÂŖ500 million to support British expatriates who might be forced to return to the UK if European countries retaliated against British citizens living abroad it will probably lead to a trade war with the EU and most certainly legal challenges. From what I have seen of them most EU citizens are hard working and not claiming benefits anyway. The British Expats won't be happy either if they have to return then there are the people who will be thinking will I be next will they come after my pension the NHS etc. It's just another of Farage's stunts its's a wonder he has any time with all the paid freebees trips abroad donations and numerous other Jobs he has this is just what he has declared, https://www.theyworkforyou.com/mp/26352/nigel_farage/clacton/register#category-house-of-commons1.2 đŧ Employment and earnings - Ad hoc payments đŧ Employment and earnings - Ongoing paid employment đ Gifts, benefits and hospitality from UK sources đ Visits outside the UK đ Gifts and benefits from sources outside the UK đ Land and property (within or outside the UK) đ Shareholdings đˇī¸ Miscellaneous Check it out it makes me wonder what else there is that hasn't been declared we already know about the ÂŖ5 million or if there are any crypto accounts floating around and also what his donors are getting in return. One thing I am sure about is he is only in it for himself and what he can get out of it it wouldn't appear he has the time to be a full time MP and do his job properly. He''s taking a lot of people for a ride. Personally I feel that MP's should be barred from doing any other work or jobs or accepting donations while they are an MP even if it means paying them more. I have also checked out my MP (who I didn't vote for) he has one income his MP's salary one property (House?) together with another family member (I presume his wife) and a flat in London again together with one family member which again I presume he uses when working in London. If I want to see him I can make an appointment to see him in person at either his local constituency office or in London unlike Farage who hasn't seen one of his constituents in person all the time he has been an MP apart from when trying to get them to vote for him. As for not seeing people because he is afraid for his own safety that is a load of cr ap I am sure as an MP he either has or could get the phone number of the Chef Constable who would make sure he had all the security he needed.
