I weighed up, Boris's promises, and is he going to stick to them, against, against the threat,

particularly in the South and the South West, that we let in a lot of Remainer Liberal Democrat MPs.

So the reason I was quiet is I waited until last night to decide,

and I'll tell you now exactly what we are going to do.

The Brexit Party will not contest the 317 seats,

one of the reasons Nigel Farage said he wanted to stand in Canada everywhere on the British

mainland was because Boris Johnson's Brexit deal was a Remainer's Brexit. It was a sellout.

There could only be talk of a deal if Boris Johnson promised to rip up his Remainer's Brexit. It was a sellout. There could only be

talk of a deal if Boris Johnson promised to rip up his deal and go for no deal. Now he's saying

that Boris Johnson saying last night that he wouldn't extend the transition period and he wanted
