Asked about the rise, from £500 to £3,500, Mr Farage said: 'I have no idea… whether what you say is true or not, I have no idea.' Asked whether it is the right thing to do, Mr Farage again said he has 'no idea', before saying he has 'no idea' whether Thomas Murray, Reform's mayor of Scarborough Town Council, does the role as a full-time job.
