HUNDREDS OF thousands of pounds donated to the UK Independence Party failed to make it into the central accounts, a senior Ukip official has confirmed.

David Campbell-Bannerman, the party's deputy leader, said that only 15 per cent of funds donated to Ukip through a call centre in Kent had been paid into the party's head office accounts.

Outrage over the Ashford call centre has been blamed for the resignations of at least six senior officials over the past 18 months. Five former members of the national executive committee, Ukip's governing body, said they believed that about pounds 500,000 was not accounted for in head office accounts.
