Ridge replied:"So why don't you just tell me then?"
He added:"Anyway, it's irrelevant, it's a small donation of £100,000," pointing out the party has raised"nearly £2m" in £25 donations through swelling membership numbers."We have raised getting on for £2m through individual people joining through our website. I can't think that any other party in the UK has raised money like that."
It's HIGHLY relevant. brexitparty_uk key donor seems very probably Putin. Brexit perfectly fits Russia's strategy of weakening EU and so NATO, and Farage is ideal PutinsPuppet to deliver him that prize. Cute, aren't they?
Farage is a prize twit at the best of times.
Would that be Mr, Mrs. or Ms. Irrelevant?
Totally agree
Is it an EU grant ?
He's only the Dictator of Russia in the end...
He's right
When all the anti brexiteers realise they are living George Orwell’s 1984, I hope they take a minute, that’s if the get one, to reflect, because it’s coming and coming fast.
True. It is irrelevant. As Farage intimated, the one impact would be pro-EU-biased fake media orgs like you and the BBC camping out on the guy's front lawn and setting your little creeping 'research' rats to dig for ANY dirt they can find on him/her to fuel your propaganda effort
...ahem....did Lord Sainsbury announce he was putting over £6million into Remain campaigns before the 23rd June 2016 vote? Almost everyone lives in a house worth more than £100k. You lot are bloody hypocrites with a deeply anti-democratic agenda 😡
Literally no one cares, they are announcing it in July anyway 🤷🏽♂️
Like him.
All the remain campaign s are based from one office in London. All funded by one organisation and people think this is dodgy!! .
True though isn't it, the nasty people from the left or remain are being allowed to get away with attacks on those with a different perspective, yet the other way round the old bill are on it like a car bonnet.
If Brexit party’s biggest donor is irrelevant, so is the Brexit party.
Putin?
Rob23894727 Totally agree..
Illegal not to declare
I wish he would go to sleep one day and not wake up.
Probably Donald Trump!!
It is irrelevant
He's lying again because the party only has one member - him. The others are simply 'supporters'. And I don't even think it's a proper political party, as such.
I see the media are after the REAL people’s vote again. Well wind your necks in, 17.4 million are going nowhere and The Brexit Party has massive support. Come the EU and general elections the far left media will look stupid. DrainTheSwamp
We will see the name in July! The media wants the name so they can “...enablers should expect harassment at restaurants, gas stations, shopping places, and even their homes until they change their change xxx.”
Whoever it is good luck to them, I hope they succeed in wiping the floor with hypocritical criminals that are sitting in The House of Commons
Disagree. No declaration of funders = no platform. Get him off the air!!
Have Sky news asked the other parties who their donors are. I think not.
Those who contribute to any political party are not doing it out the goodness of their heart they are rich obviously & they want something later down the line regardless of which party it is
Typical entitled establishment stooge.
People running scare
BremainInSpain Plus it was in rubles so it doesn't count.
It's millions is it, what's the fuss about.
Is it Nigel_Farage's friend and mentor, Steve Bannon - the American white supremacist and neo-Nazi, currently working with Farage to ferment racial hatred in Germany?
This is the grubby liar who claimed that every single donation to the Brexit Party was small. Nigel_Farage lies so often, he can no longer distinguish between fact and fantasy...
Irrelevant!!! Who do you work for? Why your donor insists on Brexit knowing that will destroy the UK! Who owns your words, the public has the right to know, let along with law enforcement agencies! Who is preventing NCA to take actions against you!
It is irrelevant
Probably Russians
True.
Has Labour Deputy leader Tom Watson paid back the alleged donation of £500,000 back to Max Mosley the son of the Fascist Leader Oswald Mosley yet?
the irrelevant in the room ...
Change uk have been going twice as long you haven’t grilled them yet,disappointing Sophie! Lots of the remainers are receiving and spending vast sums but you don’t pursue them shame on you and Sky! Ask Amber Rudd who funds her brother and is she on the payroll !!
Nigel, was it Steve Bannon?
Come on, Nige tell us where your funding is coming from.
Brexit Party is registered as a business but not as a political party in UK.
Brains or Brexit, Brains have it
You're worried aren't you.
The Russians through the NRA through the GOP ... you guys have been so duped
What makes me suspect it's really very relevant is Farage saying it's irrelevant.
Who is funding Change UK?
After 6 weeks of, who is H? the new question is, who is Irrelevant?
Bloke is as bent as arseholes enough said 😏
100k? It's a small drop in donor terms compared to the main parties
*cough* Putin *cough*
Putin like the last time.
WCullmac Is his 1st name Steve? Does his 2nd name begin with a B? Did he once work for Trump in the White House?
Watched this sky news interview... sorry to say Sophy Ridge is useless... Nigel Farage made her look like a plonker
Nigel is dead right
SKY the biggest rip off ever that this planet has ever seen! 💰
Oh come on! How can journalists hound the Kremlin?
Bannon
So Bannon ? Obviously too ashamed to tell us ?
Kick dirty money out of politics. democracy
Nothing dubious about that eh... needs investigation.
Probably Mrs May's husband, wants it all over with
He did narrow it down to being a man ! Surprise!
Sums it up.
TheStephenRalph Its not irrelevant Nigel_Farage, it's the law. You must declare and name any donor who donates over £7,500. I'd say that £100,000 definitely is over that threshold.
I’m going through the alphabet to see if I can come up with a name AB............. That’s as far as I can get
Thank you for not telling on me
Why does Sky News only make a deal about funding, when it comes to right of centre politics? Funding for ChangeUK? Femi? Never asked.
Where's doesn't the funding come from for the Tories and Labour etc etc I bet some of their money comes from interesting people
Yeah - some how I dont think he’ll get to fool as many people this time around now that the jig is up... .
Yeah - some how I dont think he’ll get to fool as many people this tome around now that the jig is up... .
must come from UK donor by law..
Oh yeah says who u clown 🤡
The people giving the most are remainers without them the brexit party would not exist.
Have you found out who funds Change Uk yet?
Trumps funding secret . Farages funding secret . 🤔
And so the media smear campaign starts which shows the mainstream parties are nervous
what do you mean putin does the hounding
85,000 registered supporters at £25 a pop, grow up Sky
I don’t care as long as he helps us brexiteers somebody has 2 stand up for us
Rosiecat2 Putin, then.
Over half the electorate have been crapped on and had piss taken out of them for over 40 years and Nigel_Farage gets it. RIP current parliamentary system.
This kind of shit Ireland outlaw a decade ago. It the law that you have to say who has giving you money that over 5,000.
Nigel_Farage is more popular than 650 useless arseholes claiming £80k plus a year and screwing over half the electorate, I don’t care who funds the conservatives, labour, greens or idiot libdems, funny how funding comes up when remoaners get scared.
Who cares? It is irrelevant. Anyone who doesn’t think there is shady dealings throughout politics is naive.
It's pronounced 'Arron Banks'.
Some far right sympathiser, Banon, chump could be many
In terms of supporters, his biggest donor is theresa_may.
How does this buffoon get so much attention in our media? He offers nothing. People trying to make the world a better place need the attention, so we try and follow the examples they set.
So, Vladimir likes to operate in the behind....
Who’s the Labours biggest donor or cons or libs What a joke sky news is.
So someone you want to hide then?
Who cares long as he gets us out the EU Brexit party 🇬🇧
Nigel_Farage where does your campaign funding come from?
Is it Vladimir? Or some investor in private healthcare?
My money’s on Mercer. Or Koch.
No, Nigel Farage is irrelevant.
Mr Banks Savings?
...Tony Blair?
Mr Farage's now £doner to the brexit party is a ex.doner of the Tory party.and ex.member of the tory party
Mind your own snouts!
He's right though it's irrelevant
More lies from brexit bollx
Who gives a shit!! The government didn't when 17+mil people upon this land voted brexit and happy to take away the democratic vote of the people shame on all party's upon this land a disgrace to the people within the land let alone politics around the world a laughing stock !!
61% would vote remain.
Sky News ...remember the same network that had a “pass” by the EU competition and monopolies broadcasting commission..no wonder never a negative story from sky regarding the EU
only a remoaner lefty snowflake would find this relevant. Whoever it is he/she are doing the country a favour
He said they will be revealed in July, get over yourselves
What the hells it gotta do with sky. Never once did you question Femi your saviour as to where his finances came from.. Pathetic!
ExConGeorgeCottrell ConvictedFraudster FollowTheMoney 😉😡
80,000 members paying 25 quid. I hope the big one-off is from Aaron Banks who has done the British people an enormous service already by funding the campaign to Leave against infinitely greater resources of the government, big institutions and powerful globalists.
Femi gets monthly anonymous donations via his PayPal account. When will he be quizzed?
Why should he give up the name? He’s in the process of raising money to begin a new Brexit Party, he’s u dear zero laws that says donations r monitory. Frankly I hope he wins, Brussels pays no attention to the Brits at all.
He’s right! It’s data protection unless the donor agrees!
It just might be the Koch Brothers or one of the Trump's donors. Terrible people.
A Russian Oligarch. Watch him. He is about to sell Britain.
soros
First name Nellie.
Why should he reveal donors names..? Is he obliged to by law? Donors prefer anonymity because they know they will be targeted by leftist extremists else.
Well, they've had more than £2 Million in personal membership fees which should keep them going for a bit :-)
No, it’s VERY relevant.
Of course it is! Why would he want truth and honour associated with his bullshit. The brexit party is for those that enjoy the past they never lived through, imperial nob heads that don’t understand how modern economics work.
Mark Carney
Go Farage, ignore Sky and the BBC as most of us do, they are the enemy within, answerable and led by the Establishment.
Slimball Nigel on the take again
Donor? Sounds a bit like “doner”. Really fancy a kebab now.
Dodgy deals from Nige the spot!!!
Don’t tell them how much I’ve contributed Nige !
Who are the rich donors for the Tories and Labour?
Go get em Nigel
Im sure he will reveal in his own time 😁
Farage right wing hipocrit
At least it ain’t George soros that the left keep selling themselves to
Oh no it isn’t! He’s behind you! Is it panto season?
Trumpadour
Yep
mcgough_p I’m pretty convinced that whatever side of the debate you are on, you would believe the names of large donors to political parties is NEVER irrelevant.
No doubt it's someone that wants Brexit .
We need to know these faceless people turning British politics into lobbyist hell with their money.
So the liberal Remain press are at it again. Well ordinary folk don’t care if it’s the Queen of Sheba. We will still vote for the Brexit party!! Even if just to piss the remainers off😂
He was right tho when he said the press would immediately be camped out on the donors doorstep. Plus the donor might have asked for anonymity for as long as possible No patience any more
Nigel_Farage so tell us then
No, it is totally relevant...
Irrelevant...... is it now ?
How can the donor not be named and their contribution detailed. Politics in this country has been weigh, measured and found wanting.
wow plenty of lefty bedwetters on here..
Correct. Who cares
So now I’m interested in who it is
Donald Trump and Viadimir Putin
Like last time .....and got away with a fine.
Irrelevant at the moment.
ChristinaDonn11 Nigel knows only to well how the media work... Keep quiet Nigel. You have the trust of the people behind you. All will be revealed in good time.
Lord Haw Haw refuses to reveal his backers...what a surprise
Oooooooh I wonder who that could be. Em.........
If you follow him I pity you Stop giving him a platform
Spoiler Alert: It’s Robert Mercer
Meanwhile, this Tory government receives billions from Saudi Arabia. 🤔
Maybe he’s giving us a cryptic anagram clue to biggest irrelevant donor: Vitel Arren
Is it DONALD TRUMP 🙄
How does he get away with it....,trump?
😁 brexshit party Nigel_Farage
You’re irrelevant Nigel_Farage but we still have to hear your name every bloody day so why won’t you name your irrelevant backer?
'I'm not going to give you the truth about important stuff. But you should trust me.' The only irrelevant thing is this story - it won't stop any kippers kipping.
Im going with Roger Daltry. Or Tim Wetherspoons.
Lord_Sugar making sure Labour can't do anything 👍🏻
Bellend
Important? Say the market share of an EU company was being reduced by a UK competitor. Is it possible they would support the Brexit Party knowing that under WTO rules the U.K. Company, after Brexit, would have tariffs imposed rendering it uncompetitive in the EU market?
Maybe irrelevant to you but a legal requirement for the electorate.
Transparency isn’t for the underworld of politics!
Sky News digging for dirt.
I would like to know from Mr Frage how he is going to solve the Brexit problems. So far he is known with his populism but never been known to solve any political problems. Lets see how Mr Frage and his party are going to solve the Irish backstop for example
It's George Soros.
Stand up as journalists and do your bloody job
Smug git... guess he’s made more money out of Europe than he will own up to...
Various Russian oligarchs connected to putin and his criminal clique
Why?
He’s asked for anonymity which is understandable.
Your refusal to say where the dosh comes from is what makes it very relevant Nigel_Farage.
Clever clever clever, hide the name, get the coverage, take away from real issues, announce the name later no big deal.
If you can’t beat then slur......
Fake ruffled. We love you Nigel. TheBrexitParty
Everything should be on the table
Correct. Just as it is for all other parties. My vote has always and will always be in what I believe to be in the interest of Great Britain, not the elite who seek control. Funding is irrelevant.
Here we go again sky on a crusade get lost
Who cares, I don’t give a crap who donates to ANY party
Agreed .
SKYSHITE NEWS AGAIN
Who is the biggest donor for UKLabour ? Who is the biggest donor of Conservatives ?
I heard it was a Mr Dan Trump
If this is a guessing game my answer would be RUSSIA
It can’t be Banksy bankrolling UKIP Mark 2 party the new brexitparty_uk could it afneil guardian
Just shows that he is all talk and no action. So much for open and honest and being different to the existing parties. Just trying to push his own agenda and making claims he then doesn't backup.
I thought disclosure via Electoral Commission was required: In Great Britain, we publish these donation and loan reports on our online database to ensure there is transparency about the funding of parties... He has to disclose.
Unless it's the russians
Thanks Mr Irrelevant.👌 who's financing Anna_Soubry party?😉
Him saying that makes it even more relevant, what is to hide?
Please stop giving this vile bigot the oxygen of publicity.
He’s a sell out
And so it is.
Suspicious.
Here we go again!!! Transparency
Probably a conservative , a ruse to grab UKIP supporters , Brexit party is a ruse for the conservative party.
Do that person is irrelevant. Bet they are pleased about that
Its not me
No it isnt...Investigative journalism needed. What's he got to hide?
Just like Nigel Farage there then.
Wrong again Kermit
I'm sure these ppl are aware how Nigel_Farage gets his donations?
Exactly what is it you're suggesting? Is it that Nigel is being manipulated or compromised by a donor, or that he's got s conflict of interest and isn't really a fan of Brexit? If ANYONE's credentials and convictions are above suspicion here, it's Nigel by a fucking mile.
Irrelevant in what way?
Dam Ruskies
Tell them nowt.
Something to hide then?
I’m so glad he has got the elitist rabble rattled
Not to us!
Our very own Donald's going to England soon. What? Just saying. Brexit Nigelfarage
So irrelevant that he really doesn't want anyone to know...
Simple the left would hound them
Judging by the amount of airtime he’s getting my money is on the BBC and MSM
Multi millionaires fighting the establishment 😀
The amount of people who still want brexit is now significantly below 17.2 million. PeoplesVote
That's a strange name to have! Is Irrelevant by any chance a codename for Aaron Banks?
Go get em Nigel
It is irrelevant. You could give the labour party one billion for me and I still wouldn't vote for the bollock heads.
No it's not, you need to be transparent about your donors.
AKA Someone we really want to hide.
GDPR ?
Not to me Mr Farage and you are disingenuous in saying so. Said person could have all sorts of motives for funding you, twisted reasons even.
At least we can be sure it's not Soros!
Irrelevant? Why
Only if it's dodgy there's no reason to hide it
It's Russia! 🙃
Where did the money come from. The people have the right Mr Farage!!!
It would not be irrelevant if it was Vladimir Putin or Kim Jong-un.
That information should've been on his bus alongside all the lies.
The con-man just keeps on doing what he does best . . . conning!
He is brilliant, you can see what he is doing & he is doing it perfectly 👏🏻🇬🇧
Only irrelevant if funding comes from legitimate source... which I highly doubt
The party has picked up over £2 million from registered supporters. Is Sky intending to ask for those names as well?
Tbh I’d suggest any number of their own candidates, they’re all self made folk and who cares anyway, unless you’re a pot noodle eating socialist that is...
Those with nothing to fear have nothing to hide.
JUST ANOTHER SMEAR he said the biggest donation was 1 thousand pound. Pennies compared to the funding remainers have access too Embarrassing Sky
Why are you still giving this man air time. Ask the Green party who did so well in the locals.
You talk the talk, do the walk.
Where all parties are taking steps to become transparent & making sure things like donors are transparent I’m afraid it is relevant
Let Me Guess Arron_banks Or 🤔 POTUS 🖖😎 Nigel_Farage 🤨 Brexit 🤓
Mercer
Am more shocked to find out Nigel Farage is only 55 😮
Remember it is a Private limited company that the money goes to, check companies house
Trump
He is right. It's why he was asked the question, right?
Donald Trump everyone knows
The only thing “irrelevant “is Farage and the batshit party🤪
Investigation illegal
Sir Alan Sugar
Considering the vast majority of donations are individual why is this of such importance to you SkyNews? I don’t see you slavering after information on Change UK donors....RemainNarrative
Well that's some great title to wind up with after spending your whole life doing something for others brexit party's biggest donor 'irrelavant'
Just to put it out there... It wasn’t me 🤣
I would have said he is Russian,that would give the MSM some digging to do lol
like the side of the bus - its irrelevant - I was not influenced by anything but the cause
🤔🧐
fakeSKYNEWS THE COLLUSION circus is over... UK does not want your political hacks USA imitation tactics.. VOTE brexitparty_uk
Oh, Nigel Farage hiding something you say? Fancy that 🙄🧐
Who’s Sly FakeNews biggest doner?
No it’s not irrelevant. I wanna know which numpty would give that fraud money.
If people have any sense at all, they will see this man for what he is, a charlatan who is only in it for himself, and not give him your vote
Just as it's leader....
Well if someone is going to 'donate' that kind of money then they should have the fortitude to defend it. But then Nigel Farage is a lying sack of human waste.
If it’s joe smith from Wigan yes, if it’s a special interest group then no.
Spot on Nige👌🏼
Farage's main cash donor will be Banks, Trump, or somebody just as odious, that's for sure.
Putin? Macron? May? The pope!
We’re coming for you Theresa.
Racist McRacistface
imagine being this stupid
Irrelevant is actually spelled RUSSIA
He's right in what hes saying if you listen. The name will come out but right now it would just be used as a witch hunt.
Donated £50, so I must have been near the top
