Election gift for PM Johnson: Brexit Party stands down in Conservative seats

HARTLEPOOL, England - Prime Minister Boris Johnson won the most significant boost of the British election campaign to date when Nigel Farage’s Brexit Party pulled out of 317 Conservative-held seats in a bid to prevent opponents of Brexit controlling the next parliament.

Farage said Brexit was in peril, so he would focus his party’s efforts at unseating opponents of leaving the EU - primarily in seats held by the Labour Party and the Liberal Democrats. But in what amounts to a non-aggression pledge and an endorsement of sorts from the man cast by supporters as the godfather of Brexit, Farage spared Johnson the prospect of a right-wing challenge in almost half Britain’s 650 constituencies.

Farage said Trump would be “very, very pleased” to hear of the move, stemming from Johnson’s promise to go for a Canada-style trade deal with the EU. After weeks of complaining about Johnson’s Brexit deal, he said a video showing Johnson pledging not to extend the post-Brexit transition period beyond the end of 2020 had changed his mind.

...use a pro-Brexit figurehead to mask an anti-Brexit disposition...?

Dancing to the tune of a Russian implicated US president to support a Russian implicated UK PM..to destroy the UK and weaken/ destroy the EU.... thus the US and Former USSR get to carve up the part of the world that has held both of them to account since their dominance pre 1980!

Hey, UK! VOTE LDP for a return to sanity.

Gift, or hot potato? Brexiteers seem not to be 'into' actual governing.

This is, with my Brexit-is-a-useless-waste-of-time hat on, a situation that must be answered. Farage or Boris, WeDeserveBetterThanThis!

Now only if the left leaning parties decided to not split *their* votes...

It’s not a gift, it’s basically taking away his excuse if he doesn’t land it in the north!

Had to happen - a split Brexit vote was not on the agenda really. Courageous and very dignified gesture from our leader to the Prime Minister, I only hope he respects this move. It’s not a gift. Many of those seatsThe Tories won are very marginal anyway, and the seats the brexit party will now contest are ones the Tories were looking to win back but now might not. I expected Reuters to be more on the ball of this stuff.
