Some of what I'd said with a bit of...

"Miliband responded that May had lost the mantle of change. “She came onto the steps of Downing Street, and some people said she sounded a bit like some of what I’d said with a bit of Nigel Farage thrown in, but she’s lost the mantle of change,” he said." (The Guardian.)

Does pronoun "some" refer to a person resembling Farage or to the whole clause followed the pronoun "of", i.e. "I’d said with a bit of Nigel Farage thrown in" in the above?
