Nigel Farage will call for a Brexit alliance with the Tories as he sets out his stall for the General Election campaign.
Farage Brexit Party leader until today had been tight-lipped about his strategy despite lots of rumours but will shortly launch his campaign in Westminster today.
It comes after US President Donald Trump appeared to call for an electoral pact between Farage and Boris Johnson, saying the pair could become an unstoppable force.
Mr Farage refused to say how many seats his party would fight in the December poll, telling the LBC radio station “Some newspapers are suggesting that we will fight vast numbers of seats, others think we will fight as few as 20 seats. I run a very tight ship, we don’t leak. I will reveal all later on today. But, I can assure you that most of what I say will be about Boris’s deal and the need, in my view, for some kind of Brexit alliance.”
We shall report again soon once he has laid out his plans in the next hour or so.
