The party vowed to ban foreign nationals in the UK from claiming almost all kinds of benefits if it formed a government.
Asked if British expatriates in the EU could lose equivalent rights, Kruger told BBC Breakfast: “Well, I expect so.
“So, it would be reasonable for the Europeans to deny British nationals access to European benefits.”

He continued: “I think it’s a reasonable principle that the country to which people belong, where they are citizens, should be paying their welfare and so I would understand if the Europeans decided to apply the same principle that we are, and to deny our nationals access to their welfare system, and we will pay for that ourselves.”
