Titford's leadership and mentorship significantly shaped the trajectory of UKIP and the eventual Brexit referendum victory.

Jeffrey Titford, former UKIP leader and a pivotal figure in the Brexit movement, has died at the age of 90.
Titford began his political journey as a Conservative councillor before joining the Eurosceptic Referendum Party and later UKIP.
He became one of the first UKIP MEPs elected to the European Parliament in 1999 and led the party during key periods of its development.

His colleagues remember him as a visionary who steadfastly believed that EU membership was detrimental to Britain's independence.
