“What is most revealing about Mr Crosby’s line of attack is that he wants to bring in outside consultants to keep a watch on the hundreds of UKIP councillors, rather than trusting the Conservative’s own elected councillors,” Mr Farage said. “It shows quite clearly that the Tory party just doesn’t trust its own membership. Fair enough I suppose with a constant stream of Tory and other councillors jumping ship to UKIP over the past year.”
