A cohort of UKIP MEPs made a rare appearance in Strasbourg yesterday to discuss members entitlements after Brexit.

With 16 remaining members it seemed the lion’s share of the party’s politicians showed up at the European Parliament, despite absenteeism plaguing the party in the past.

According to researchers at VoteWatch Ukip MEPs turn up to fewer voters in the European Parliament than any other party in Europe.

Representatives only participated in 62.3 per cent of votes in the run-up to the Brexit vote. No other political party in all of the EU’s 28 countries had a participation rate below 70 per cent.

But there appeared to be close to a 100 per cent turn-out at the latest debate discussing what the members would be entitled to after the UK leaves the union.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
