Farage says
Brexit party will contest every seat in Britain if Tories do not agree to pact
Farage says
the only way to solve the Brexit impasse is to create a leave alliance.
That does
not just mean Tories and the Brexit party, he says. He says there are other
leavers who might join.
He says, if
that were to happen, they could become, as President Trump said yesterday, “an
unstoppable force”.
If that
does not happen, the Brexit party will be the only party standing up for
Brexit.
He says it
will make sure that every house in the land gets information about how the deal
is a sell-out.
And he says
the party will contest every seat in Britain.

Farage
claims Johnson’s Brexit deal so bad it would lead to UK deciding to rejoin EU
Farage says
Boris Johnson claims his plan is a great deal. But it isn’t. It is not Brexit,
he claims.
Farage says
Michel Barnier, the EU’s chief Brexit negotiator, has been a much more
brilliant negotiator than anyone on the UK side.
The EU is
heading for regulatory alignment, he says.
And he says
he is glad President Trump made it clear last night that the Johnson plan would
obstruct a UK-US trade deal.
The Johnson
plan would give the UK all of the disadvantages of EU membership, but none of
the advantages of being out.
He says if
the UK adopted that plan, it would trigger a campaign to rejoin the EU. And he
says that campaign would succeed.

rejoin the EU.
Johnson
should drop this deal, he says.

Farage
suggests Labour, not Tories, would lose out most from his party's campaigning
Farage says
he will be in the east Midlands, the north-east, south Wales, London and
Workington next week.
In 2015,
when he led Ukip into the general election, people thought it would have a
negative effect on the Conservative party.
But in fact
the Ukip vote disproportionately hurt the Labour party, he says. He says that
is why the Tories were able to get a majority.
He says the
idea that Brexit party supporters are all Tories is “lazy thinking”.

Farage says
level of broken promises on Brexit is astonishing
Nigel
Farage says the UK is still in the EU, even though it was meant to be out by
now.
That is why
people have lost faith in politics. And that is why he has come back to
frontline politics.
The sheer
level of broken promises is astonishing.
Farage says
Labour said it would respect the referendum result. But now it is planning to
offer voters a choice between remain and remain. (Farage argues that a soft
Brexit amounts to remain.) That is a “betrayal”, he says.
