Daily Telegraph’s co-owner is “discreet” supporter of UKIP leader Nigel Farage, claims Private Eye
Malborough News by Gerald Isaaman | Thursday, 10 April 2014 | Click here for original article
UKIP leader Nigel Farage has been given the “discreet” support of Sir Frederick Barclay, one of the two Barclay brothers who own the Daily Telegraph as well as London’s Ritz Hotel, according to the political magazine Private Eye.
It claims that Sir Frederick has paid for a back operation for UKIP leader Nigel Farage, a left-over injury from the helicopter crash he escaped from. And that he enabled Nigel Farage’s 50th birthday party to be held last week at The Ritz.
But Wiltshire UKIP’s chairman, former Tory MP Neil Hamilton, who works with Mr Farage at his Mayfair headquarters in London, appears unaware of the connection.
"Nigel's party was very good,” he told Marlborough News Online. “I've no idea whether the Barclay brothers were behind the venue -- they certainly weren't in evidence.”
Meanwhile, Mr Hamilton has criticised Claire Perry, Tory MP for Devizes, for failing to respond to his challenge to debate the future of the EU with him, in the wake of the two national debates between Lib-Dem leader Nick Clegg and Mr Farage.
