See now arista you were wrong:

A senior UKIP official close to Nigel Farage has accused the party's only MP of "absurd" and "improper" behaviour after claims that Douglas Carswell was asked to recruit 15 extra staff for his parliamentary office.

The source told the BBC the Clacton MP sent an email yesterday saying he wanted sole control of around £650,000 that UKIP is set to receive in what's known as short money for opposition parties.

They suggested this was an "improper" proposal. They said the party planned to give Douglas Carswell staff but added "at no point have we said what we expect him to do". The senior party staffer said "this is him throwing his toys out of pram because he thought Nigel wouldn't be leader any more".

UKIP has insisted that the public funds will go to the party irrespective of Mr Carswell's views, saying they've "triple, quadruple checked that".

The source said "it's for us to spend as we want to spend it" and they added that "the party will take a dim view of four million people going unrepresented" if the Essex MP refuses to accept some of the money.
