Nigel farage warns boris johnson will con brits after no deal pledge

The Brexit Party leader said he continued to be sceptical of the Prime Minister’s intentions and ability to push through a hard Brexit and expected to see a return of Theresa May’s “awful”

withdrawal agreement. Speaking to his LBC colleague Tom Swarbrick, the former UKIP leader explained: “I’d be thrilled to see it [no deal] but I’ll tell you what - I’ll believe it when it

happens. What I really think is happening here is that Boris Johnson with his team are trying to bolster their position in the polls, appear to be the party of Brexit. “And then we’ll see

probably quite a significant watering down as he brings that awful withdrawal agreement back to the House of Commons.” Host Mr Swarbrick questioned Mr Farage over whether there could be a

Brexiteer Tory-Brexit Party coalition. He asked: "You’ve said that it’s been your stated aim for decades to take us out of the EU. “To come out with no deal might be the best way of

doing that in your mind. JUST IN: NO DEAL BREXIT BACKED BY NEARLY HALF OF BRITONS - SHOCK NEW POLL “Does that mean that at a general election, before that, you would stand Brexit Party

candidates in every seat? “Or would you find some way of doing some sort of jiggery-pokery which means that those no deal Tory Brexiteers could face the electorate unopposed by the Brexit

Party?” Mr Farage answered: “I think the important thing is not to make the same mistake that we all made back in 2016 and 2017. “We had the referendum, the Conservative Party told us they

would honour it. The new Brexit 'war cabinet' will meet on Monday as Boris Johnson steps up planning for a no deal scenario on October 31. Mr Johnson will miss the first meeting of

the Exit Strategy committee - known as XS - as he will be making a potentially awkward first visit to Scotland since becoming Prime Minister. Michael Gove will chair the XS committee in his

absence and will also lead meetings of the Daily Operations Committee, covering all aspects of the Government's preparations for leaving. A major advertising campaign - reportedly

costing up to £100 million - is also planned to raise public awareness of Brexit issues. Boris Johnson has repeatedly said that he is willing to pull the UK out of the EU without a deal -

even going so far as to say the UK would leave by October 31 - "do or die."
