– Nigel Farage‘s Brexit Party is not involved and Ukip only has a few candidates
– The election guru suggested infuriated Tories might stay at home instead
– But he warned the election would still be ‚difficult‘ for the Conservatives

Labour in the 2010s made the fatal assumption that UKIP would only damage the Tories and we’d come through the middle…just a plea (not that the party has ever listened to those of us in touch with working class opinion)…let’s not make that same mistake with the Brexit Party.
Nigel Farage unveils Jacob Rees-Mogg‘s SISTER as Brexit Party candidate: Mother-of-one Annunziata, 40, vows to beat ‚far right‘ UKIP in EU elections and ‘take back our democracy’
– Nigel Farage launched new Brexit Party and started war of words with UKIP
– He said party he used to lead lacks ‚good people‘ and ‚taken over‘ by the far right
– Farage says new home will do ‚brilliantly‘ and bet £1,000 on winning most seats
– Targeting UKIP, Tory and Labour voters upset that Britain did not leave the EU
that it now looks like the UK will have to take part in European Parliament elections in May, with no clear way forward on Brexit, is pretty terrifying. Everyone will protest vote, the far-right will likely make huge gains, and get wall-to-wall media coverage. It‘ll be a disaster

Nigel Farage: ‚I‘ll stand in European elections – but I‘m not happy about it‘
„Am I happy about it? No I‘m not – actually I‘ve got many other things in my life I‘d like to do, I thought we‘d won the Brexit battle but I‘m not going to after 25 years of endeavour watch British politicians roll us over.
„This is the fightback and they‘re going to be very surprised by what they get.“
BREXTORTION: Theresa May begs Brussels to delay Brexit to June 30 – but EU want it to be a YEAR
But furious Brexiteers warned that if the EU forces us to stay another year, Britain should sabotage it from the inside by blocking plans for expansion.
Mrs May is expected to write separately to Jeremy Corbyn today, offering a compromise agreement which both party leaders could push through the Commons.
Hope this helps…
