The Brexit Party leader confirmed he wouldn't make an eight bid to become an MP while speaking to Andrew Marr. On Friday Mr Farage begged Boris Johnson for a "leave alliance" which could see the Tories and the Brexit Party join forces to try and sink Jeremy Corbyn's bid to become PM. That, he claimed, could involve up to 150 Tory candidates stepping aside in Labour seats that have never voted Tory - in exchange for the Brexit Party not contesting other Tory seats. But despite the bid, Mr Farage has confirmed he will not stand himself. Speaking about Mr Johnson's Brexit deal, Mr Farage told the Sunday Times it was like a piece of cheese.
