Nigel Farage says the Brexit Party will contest 'every single seat' in Britain at the election unless Johnson ditches his deal
Nigel Farage has warned Boris Johnson that the Brexit Party will contest every single seat in Britain at the upcoming general election unless the prime minister ditches his Brexit deal with the European Union.
Speaking in Westminster on Friday, Farage said he would be willing to strike an electoral pact with the Conservatives, and help Johnson win a parliamentary majority - but only if Johnson agreed to "drop the deal."
Farage said Johnson's agreement with the EU "is not Brexit" and "would give the United Kingdom all of the burdens of the EU membership with no say whatsoever."
He said if the prime minister does not abandon the deal, the Brexit Party will stand candidates in "every single seat in England, Scotland and Wales" for the general election taking place on Thursday, December 12.
Farage said Johnson had until Thursday, November 14 to ditch his deal and form an alliance with the Brexit Party.
