on 24 june 1995, ukip gained its first member of the house of lords, the lord grantley, who had joined the party in 1993 from the conservatives and had recently succeeded to his father's titles. however, with the coming house of lords act 1999, he decided not to stand for election as a continuing member, and so left the house in november 1999. earlier in 1999, ukip had gained a second peer in the house of lords, the earl of bradford, but he, too, left the house in november 1999 because of the house of lords act. the lord pearson of rannoch and the lord willoughby de broke both defected to ukip in 2007, giving the party its first representation in the house of lords since the departure of lord grantley and lord bradford. the lord pearson of rannoch went on to serve as party leader from november 2009 to september 2010. on 18 september 2012, the lord stevens of ludgate joined ukip, having sat as an independent conservative since his expulsion from the conservatives in 2004. in autumn 2018, lord willoughby de broke left ukip, reducing the party's representation in the upper house back down to two. lord stevens also left the party, in december 2018, leaving former leader lord pearson as ukip's sole peer.

nigel farage, the brexit party and former ukip leader, said that there was "no difference between the brexit party and ukip in terms of policy, [but] in terms of personnel, there's a vast difference", criticising ukip's connections to the far right. on 15 april 2019, three more sitting female ukip meps defected to the brexit party, criticising ukip's nomination of benjamin as a candidate. in particular, collins noted ukip leader gerard batten's defence of benjamin's "use of a non-rape threat as 'satire'" to be an especially compelling factor. two further ukip meps moved to the brexit party on 17 april. on 23 april, farage said that the brexit party was not "here just to get a process vote on 23 may – far from it, 23 may for us is just the beginning". he also argued that the better the performance of the brexit party, the lower the chance of a second referendum on brexit. farage argued that should the brexit party get most votes in the elections, his party should get a seat at the uk/eu negotiations.
