On a message on UKIP’s website, Reckless states: “On November 20th, you helped me establish a 7.3% majority over the Tories. Would you be willing to express your support for us and the voters of Rochester and Strood, by giving just £7.30 to help me deal with the sour grapes legal challenge from the Conservative Party?”

UKIP hasn’t revealed the amount Reckless has raised yet.
