Do you like him petra?

He's not going to launch this party until if/when it looks as if article 50 is going to be extended.
I would assume that some MPs are afraid, very afraid and so they should, voting against what their constituents wanted.

To start one party might be looked on as a mistake, to start two looks like desperation!

What an apalling man.

At the same time there is more talk of a group of Labour MPs breaking away to form a new Centrist party.

Hopefully won’t be needed!

We live in very interesting times......

I think this party's expansion hinges on the way we leave/don't leave the EU in March.

He Should be renamed Nigel Forage as it seems he cannot help himself from Foraging around causing chaos & division feeding on & dishing out seeds of discontentment with out ever having to produce a palatable dish of his own.

'Thousands of Tory party members' to defect to Nigel Farage's Brexit Party as it gets official approval"

www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2019/02/08/thousands-tory-party-members-defect-nigel-farages-brexit-party/

Nigel Farage, the former Ukip leader who is supporting the party, said "the engine is running" and he stood "ready for battle" to fight the Tories and Labour if European Parliament elections are held on May 23

He is thinking that we will still be in the EU in May? So, he could be keen for purely selfish motives - retaining his MEP role? confused

I've been reading about this party for some weeks. So have the eu and it appears that they would rather have a no deal than another 'UKIP' party RE the European elections.

So reports the Telegraph.

It's breaking news. He is reported as saying UKIP is dead in the water but millions will join a Brexit Party. The way the EU negotiations are shaping up, I imagine all the Leavers consigned to hell by the EU's Donald Tusk will be right behind him.
