Theresa May's hardline pronouncements have been welcomed by a delirious Nigel Farage who has said he couldn't be happier with her policy. I think this is the main reason he is not standing as a candidate - no point, the Tories are following UKIP policies.
The "we're out" hype has scared off firms like Nestle who are big employers, and they won't be the last to go unless we can reverse the slide towards Brexit.
