Good old Nige.     I think he was hoping for more of a sweetener from Boris in return.

 

Brexit Party will not stand in Tory seats, says Nigel Farage

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-2019-50377396

Well seeing as Brexit Party Ltd is currently polling around 9% it's hardly surprising - the Tories have already stolen their clothes.

The BBC have this morning issued an apology for showing footage from 2016 of Boris Johnson laying a wreath at the Cenotaph during which he was neat, tidy and observed protocol. Many have made the link to this apparent error yesterday to his slovenliness and gaffes (laying the wreath upsidedown, getting his timings wrong and his unkempt appareance).

Normally the media make a special effort to slam  Labour leader; though Corbyn by comparison was statesmanlike, smart and spoke at length to veterans. - Although the BBC did comment that Corbyn 'bowed his head slightly'.....

I'm glad that the BBC recognised its 'error'.

I did notice jezza had very smart overcoat rather than his anorak of last year.

 it’s just been announced.

So Farage has taken the advice /instructioms from his American friend Donald Trump and made a pact. Nice when Trump can influence our elections like this.

Wonder what Boris has given in return?

Knighthood after a successful election, maybe (But hopefully not) American ambassador.

No a pact is when both parties reciprocate and the Conservative have so far not done that. So far its the Lib Dems, Greens and Plaid Cymru who have formed a pact.

Oh, it will be a pact for sure. The Conservatives just aren't admitting how they've reciprocated.  Everything about Farage's career to date has been "what's in it for me"...Lord Farage of Gammonshire to be announced in the next but one honour's list.

Reciprocation comes in many forms.

 

Boris has a bit of a reputation for being free and easy with public money, where his “friends” are concerned,

 

Not to worry though, he’s probably just minimised the chances of the Tories taking labour seats
