Verhofstadt, who once called Farage “the biggest waste of money in the EU,” was confronted by the British MEP on air after standing by his jibe.
“The one thing I would say to Mr Verhofstadt is I have just helped to lead a campaign where my salary would be abolished completely,” Farage quipped.
“I was the turkey that would vote for Christmas. So don't worry, once we've left, I won't take a penny of EU salary.”
LBC presenter Matt Frei, however, was not pleased with the answer, asking the ex UKIP frontman if he wasn’t still a waste of EU taxpayers’ money as he probably spent more time doing the station’s new call-in show than in Brussels.
“Oh no,” the politician replied, “I should be broadcasting from Brussels on Wednesday night on behalf of LBC so I can take the show with me wherever I go, no problem with that.”
He seemed to backtrack however on his claim of attending EU Parliament sessions assiduously, adding: “I tell you how it works, the more you’re there, the more you cost the taxpayer because every day an MEP is in Brussels he or she signs a piece of paper and they get given €300 in cash tax free. So the less I’m there, the less I cost the taxpayer.”
Verhofstadt is then seen on LBC footage of the show shrugging awkwardly as Farage speaks. He is later seen telling Frei that Farage is wrong in egging on US President Donald Trump against the EU.
