Nigel Farage has claimed he could win the next general election if Conservative leadership candidates fail to deliver Brexit by the end of October, as his party topped the European polls in the UK. The Brexit party leader said he had no trust in Boris Johnson or any of the other Tory hopefuls to deliver Brexit, as he pledged to field 650 candidates to stand for Westminster office. The Brexit party topped the poll with 33.3% of the UK vote based on the results so far, with the Conservatives pushed down into fifth place on as little as 8.8%. “No Deal Brexit 36.8% (BP+UKIP) No Brexit 37.0% (LD+G+CUK) – we should consider that those who push for the purity of no deal rather than accept a compromise deal may bring on [second referendum]. “Whatever the Conservative leader says, why would I believe them?” he said.
