UKIP is planning to fight for 100 seats at the next election, with a third of voters saying they are prepared to back Nigel Farage.
Paul Sykes, the party’s biggest donor, revealed he is ready to write a check for £1.5 million to bankroll the ambitious push.
As Tory divisions deepen over how to respond to the Euroskeptic threat, a new poll put UKIP on 18 percent, with one in three people willing to back the party if they thought they could win in their local area. […]
Defense Secretary Michael Fallon today pleaded with even voters who want to leave the European Union to stay with the Tories.
