Farage calls for Brexit Party pact with Tories to ‘destroy Corbyn’

THE Tories should give the Brexit Party a free run at targeting traditional Labour heartlands in the North, Midlands and Wales as part of an electoral pact, its leader Nigel Farage has said.

Mr Farage, writing in the Sunday Telegraph, said the offer of a non-aggression pact was “100 per cent sincere” and would help return Prime Minister Boris Johnson to Downing Street.

According to the paper, the former Ukip leader wants to see the Brexit Party not face Tory opposition in seats like Wansbeck, currently held by Labour chairman Ian Lavery, and West Bromwich East, that of deputy leader Tom Watson.
