A standoff has developed between senior UKIP figures and Douglas Carswell over public money they are entitled to receive. UKIP is entitled to around £650,000 to help finance their back room operations. The BBC understands Mr Carswell was approached by UKIP's party secretary yesterday and asked to recruit 15 extra staff for his parliamentary office - he rejected the proposal making it clear he was not going to agree to the plan which sources close to him have described as 'improper'. Douglas Carswell is the MP for Clacton.

@Nigel_Farage is so angry with @DouglasCarswell he doesn't trust himself to comment on it. https://t.co/Nee7t71V7e
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
UKIP will never forgive Douglas Carswell for so right and royally pissing them off with his high-mindedness. https://t.co/Nee7t71V7e
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
Is Douglas Carswell abusing his position as the only MP for UKIP? https://t.co/Nee7t71V7e
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
Is Douglas Carswell trying to pick a fight cos he wants to go back to the Tories? https://t.co/Nee7t71V7e
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
Douglas Carswell with his weird ignoble twisted mouth - trust him to pick a fight with UKIP over something like that https://t.co/Nee7t71V7e
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
£650k is not really not that much these days. Is Douglas Carswell really hoping UKIP will expel him over this? https://t.co/Nee7t71V7e
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@PaulPJB @BBCNormanS @DouglasCarswell @UKIP @BBCr4today Carswell is picking a fight with his party cos he wants out.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@PaulPJB @BBCNormanS @DouglasCarswell @UKIP @BBCr4today No other explanation for such inexplicably perverse behaviour.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@PaulPJB @BBCNormanS @DouglasCarswell @BBCr4today Inevitable that @UKIP's only MP would want to abuse his power. Ignoble and self-indulgent.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@PaulPJB @BBCNormanS @DouglasCarswell @UKIP @BBCr4today Carswell's behaviour will b taken badly indeed by the grass roots. "Filthy Tory" etc
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@PaulPJB @BBCNormanS @BBCr4today The obvious thing to do would be for @DouglasCarswell to discuss this with @UKIP but he didn't. WHY?
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@PaulPJB @BBCNormanS @DouglasCarswell @BBCr4today @UKIP Yep, you can see this coming like a punch in the face. Filthy behaviour.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@PaulPJB @BBCNormanS @BBCr4today @DouglasCarswell @UKIP An ignoble man would abuse his power simply because he can.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@PaulPJB @BBCNormanS @BBCr4today @DouglasCarswell @UKIP N ignoble man not up 2 the job wd think: "This is more trouble than my job's worth."
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@PaulPJB @BBCNormanS @BBCr4today @DouglasCarswell An ignoble man wd be resolute in showing his irresolution and hate being only @UKIP MP.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@PaulPJB @BBCNormanS @BBCr4today @UKIP Clear @DouglasCarswell is doing the equivalent of shooting himself in the foot to avoid conscription.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@PaulPJB @BBCNormanS @BBCr4today One thing clear abt @DouglasCarswell: not a team player, doesn't want to be and hasn't got it in him. @UKIP
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@PaulPJB @BBCNormanS @BBCr4today @DouglasCarswell Probably his missus and daughters are giving him gyp over all this @UKIP business.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@PaulPJB @BBCNormanS @BBCr4today @DouglasCarswell Missus: "Why can't you go back to the Tories, dear? @UKIP are such *ghastly* people."
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@PaulPJB @BBCNormanS @BBCr4today Probably, @DouglasCarswell never felt accepted by @UKIP, regrets joining and this is his revenge.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@PaulPJB @BBCNormanS @BBCr4today Basically @DouglasCarswell is saying "I won't take wot I'm entitled to cos it is more than my job's worth."
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@PaulPJB @BBCNormanS @BBCr4today Basically, @DouglasCarswell is saying: "I don't want any trouble and I'm not going an inch out of my way."
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@PaulPJB @BBCNormanS @BBCr4today It seems @DouglasCarswell is that paradox - a rebel who is a jobsworth. @UKIP
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@PaulPJB @BBCNormanS @BBCr4today Rejecting the money is @DouglasCarswell displaying his contempt for @UKIP, really.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@PaulPJB @BBCNormanS @BBCr4today @DouglasCarswell Not saying you shouldn't be your own man, but doing something like this is simply perverse
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@PaulPJB @BBCNormanS @BBCr4today @UKIP Taking the money is showing you are one of the gang, and this @DouglasCarswell ain't.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@PaulPJB @BBCNormanS @BBCr4today By refusing the money @DouglasCarswell is showing contempt for @UKIP and/or making a grave miscalculation.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@WessexVoice It was a calculation expression of contempt on the part of @DouglasCarswell towards @UKIP and @Nigel_Farage.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@WessexVoice The whip cd be withdrawn from @DouglasCarswell, perhaps, and he could even be expelled under 6.20(a) at http://t.co/1hMlZQmU6U
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@WessexVoice Arguably, Douglas Carswell has breached party confidentiality under 6.20(b) at http://t.co/1hMlZQmU6U
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@WessexVoice Douglas Carswell arguably breached party confidentiality cos he didn't first discuss the money with UKIP before going public.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@WessexVoice What UKIP doesn't need is pussified wankers like Carswell mincing about throwing his weight around to make his little points.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@WessexVoice If I were @Nigel_Farage I wouldn't let that pussified wanker Carswell cheek me like that. Out he goes. He never belonged anyway
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@WessexVoice Since @DouglasCarswell has decided to show his contempt for @UKIP and @Nigel_Farage they have no option but to expel him.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@WessexVoice In effect, @DouglasCarswell was saying that @UKIP would only misuse the money and get him into trouble. Expel that wanker.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@WessexVoice If @DouglasCarswell is expelled from UKIP he wouldn't be entitled to a single penny of the £650k. Best revenge on that wanker.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@WessexVoice Let retribution on @DouglasCarswell be swift and decisive. UKIP can do without the money. @Nigel_Farage can show a bit of steel
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@simonharley @JakeReesMogg Opportunity for @Nigel_Farage to slap Douglas Carswell down and leave him dangling in the wind. I would.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@simonharley @JakeReesMogg Douglas Carswell is not going to get any better if he is allowed to get away with it. @Nigel_Farage
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@simonharley @JakeReesMogg Party discipline will be important in the years ahead. UKIP can do without Carswell's "principles". @Nigel_Farage
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@simonharley @JakeReesMogg @Nigel_Farage Carswell has served his purpose. One MP no MP, makes no difference to UKIP now.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@simonharley @JakeReesMogg Opportunity 4 @Nigel_Farage 2 show he is not 2b trifled with by some Tory cunt who thinks he is better than UKIP.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@AlanJohnson35 @robindbrant It is @UKIP's money, not @DouglasCarswell's. He clearly wants to make trouble and undermine @Nigel_Farage.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@AlanJohnson35 @robindbrant @UKIP Let's see if @Nigel_Farage has it in him to deal with @DouglasCarswell swiftly and suitably.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@AlanJohnson35 @robindbrant If @DouglasCarswell's just being stupid, @UKIP don't want him. If he's making trouble UKIP don't want him either
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@AlanJohnson35 @robindbrant I repeat: the money is @UKIP's to take, not @DouglasCarswell's to refuse on UKIP's behalf.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@AlanJohnson35 @robindbrant @UKIP Who does @DouglasCarswell think he is? @Nigel_Farage? He might like to be an *independent* MP though.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@AlanJohnson35 @robindbrant @UKIP It is clear it did not occur to @DouglasCarswell for one moment to discuss it with @Nigel_Farage
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@AlanJohnson35 @robindbrant @UKIP @DouglasCarswell It depends on what the member has done and why he did it.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@AlanJohnson35 @robindbrant @UKIP If @Nigel_Farage tolerates this behaviour from @DouglasCarswell there will be worse and more.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@AlanJohnson35 @robindbrant @UKIP @DouglasCarswell Don't think @goddersbloom would do anything resembling this. Only the younger generation.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@AlanJohnson35 @robindbrant @UKIP @DouglasCarswell An army man like @goddersbloom would know how insubordination should be punished.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@AlanJohnson35 @robindbrant @UKIP Just saying no amount of money is worth @Nigel_Farage being undermined by @DouglasCarswell. @bbcdp
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@AlanJohnson35 @robindbrant @UKIP From now on @DouglasCarswell will be shunned. Let him dangle in the wind. @bbcdp
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@AlanJohnson35 @robindbrant @UKIP @DouglasCarswell @goddersbloom It is up to the older generation to teach young degenerates a thing or two.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@AlanJohnson35 @robindbrant @UKIP @DouglasCarswell @goddersbloom Nothing hip or cool about having your authority undermined by a loser.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@AlanJohnson35 @robindbrant @UKIP @goddersbloom What would be cool and hip is to noose @DouglasCarswell to a branch n give the horse a slap.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
I speak metaphorically, of course.
@AlanJohnson35 @robindbrant @Nigel_Farage @DouglasCarswell @bbcdp Practical advice to any leader who doesn't want his authority undermined.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@AlanJohnson35 @robindbrant @UKIP @DouglasCarswell @goddersbloom Old men lose their testosterone and become like old women.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@AlanJohnson35 @robindbrant @UKIP @DouglasCarswell @goddersbloom Nigel Farage will find that it is not worth taking crap from Carswell.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@oche_balboa A useless politician though.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@jackmatt81 Because UKIP is *entitled* to the money.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@oche_balboa If Carswell regrets leaving the Tories, then his judgement was at fault. Now he is crapping on his own UKIP doorstep.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@oche_balboa Is Carswell crapping on his own UKIP doorstep because he wants to go back to his old party? Then he is a treacherous bastard.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@oche_balboa Douglas Carswell is now shop-soiled twice over. Shop-soiled when he came to UKIP, shop-soiled again if he returns to the Tories
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@oche_balboa I wouldn't call a twice over shop-soiled politician a useful or a competent politician.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@oche_balboa Mark Reckless would be wise to stay in UKIP since the Tories will only give him a kicking if he goes crawling back.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@oche_balboa I wouldn't be too awed by the fact that Carswell is an MP, especially if he is going to make trouble like that.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@oche_balboa Grassroots will hate seeing Nigel Farage being undermined by Carswell and will end up hating Farage if he allows this.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@oche_balboa I am saying Carswell can be kicked out of UKIP, leaving him isolated. One of the cards Nigel Farage could play.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@oche_balboa Not up to Carswell to make these decisions as he is not leader and the grassroots won't like him for undermining Farage.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@oche_balboa Even if there were a leadership contest, the grassroots would never choose Carswell.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@oche_balboa UKIP will be there to threaten any LibLabCon MP. Not having a UKIP MP won't harm UKIP that much - they are used to it.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@oche_balboa There are bound to be by-elections between now and 2020 anyway.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@oche_balboa I don't think Carswell has leadership ambitions, but he should not b allowed 2b seen 2 undermine the authority of Nigel Farage.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@oche_balboa People admire a leader who acts swiftly n decisively and is prepared to take risks rather than one clearly desperate for money.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@oche_balboa UKIP just have to wait for a by election. Carswell too soft and sappy anyway.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@oche_balboa Who knows? Depends on the constituency, but having Carswell call the shots is bound to be even more upsetting for grassroots.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@oche_balboa Carswell did not even discuss his decision with Farage. Talk about high-handed! UKIP will still be UKIP without a single MP.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@oche_balboa It can be dangerous to be too cautious in politics. UKIP might have won more votes if they had been bolder.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@oche_balboa People want an alternative to the LibLabCon and don't want super-cautious and super-boring LibLabCon tactics IMHO.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@oche_balboa Maggie took chances and it was precisely because she took chances and came through that people admired her for it.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@oche_balboa Repealing the Equality Act 2010 and abolishing no fault divorce would been the perfect ideological clear blue water IMHO.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@oche_balboa You win some, you lose some. UKIP should actually shun the liberal vote.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@oche_balboa For next 5 years, UKIP should be concentrating on telling voters why they are where they are now, not telling them pretty lies.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@oche_balboa UKIP should be discussing constitutional and ideological issues now, not painting pretty pictures of life under a UKIP gvt.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@oche_balboa UKIP must engage the emotions of the voter on ideological issues of principle rather than fuss around with the window dressing.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@oche_balboa In my view, UKIP should craft its policies to appeal to the small businessman and the aspiring LOWER middle classes.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@oche_balboa Is there even a *working* class up north any more?
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@oche_balboa I am afraid the UKIP voters of the north are just people who voted in Nick Griffin and Andrew Brons in the previous EU election
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@oche_balboa I know it is tempting to just get any vote you possibly can but I promise you it is better to have some political principles.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@oche_balboa The lower the social class the more likely u r to hate foreigners because you cannot distinguish between disease n its symptoms
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@oche_balboa Skilled labour is unionised, unskilled labour is marginalised by Labour, who then go BNP. Now they go UKIP. Same kind of people
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@oche_balboa Maggie targeted the lower middle classes and ended up bribing them with council homes.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@oche_balboa If it were me I would be targeting the kind of people who care about grammar schools. Aspiring non-white parents v energetic.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@oche_balboa It is time for UKIP to tell the so-called working classes a few hard truths about their position, not soft soap them even more.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@oche_balboa What you are really saying is "Continue to play safe." If you play safe you bore voters.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015
@oche_balboa Time for UKIP to use more stick.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) May 13, 2015

Carswell is a liability to UKIP, if only because of his asymmetrical mouth.
