'Nigel Farage has given Boris a big leg-up - but his Brexit candidates could mean Tories fall at the Red Wall' GE2019 LeaveAlliance

By standing down his Brexit Party candidates in all 317 seats held by the Conservatives, he has paved the way for a powerful victory for Boris Johnson.Labour, already reeling from dismal poll ratings and charges of toxic radicalism, will be in despair at this move. Their high hopes of a damaging split in the Tory heartlands have turned to ashes.

Not only was he one of the chief architects of the Leave triumph in 2016, but he led his newly created Brexit Party to a resounding win in the European Elections this year.Despite Farage's move, the continued presence of Brexit Party candidates could threaten to Tory progress by splitting the anti-Labour vote

By undermining the Tories in these regions, the Brexit Party would have made a hung Parliament more likely. These constituencies are the key to Boris’s chances of an overall win. Without picking up most of them, his prospects of forming another Government are slim. Some experts estimate that for every vote the Brexit Party takes from Labour, it takes two from the Conservatives.

Nigel Farage would rather scupper Brexit than let somebody else deliver it'I had hoped that the Brexit Party would, to borrow Nigel Farage’s favourite phrase, “put country before party”.' Or it's simply not Brexit. It's an EU treaty which keeps the UK in the EU by the back door. Please just read the detail. Actually doing Brexit isn't the point of Farage. He wants the arguing about it to go on for as long as possible, because that's what he does for a living. BrexitBattalion What, & the Tory party are putting country b4 party? They never have & never will. They don’t even believe in Brexit. They cant do if that latest BRINO is regarded as worthwhile. It’s 95% the same as the awful rejected May excrement. It’s a sell out.
