Boris Johnson is under mounting pressure to reverse his decision to rule out an electoral pact with Nigel Farage.

DAN HODGES:The Prime Minister should hold his nerve. Because a man on a white charger may be about to come riding to his rescue. A man by the name of Jeremy Corbyn.

Boris Johnson has ruled out cutting an electoral pact with Nigel Farage, despite warnings the two parties could split the Brexit vote.

Nigel Farage has put the boot into Boris Johnson as the Brexit Party leader suggested the under-fire premier was now effectively a 'caretaker prime minister'.

Nigel Farage renewed his appeal for the PM to join forces - but insisted it could only happen if the Tories committed to a 'clean break' from the EU.

More than two thirds (68 per cent) of those who backed EU withdrawal three years ago trust the Prime Minister to deliver, in contrast to less than half (49 per cent) who backed the Brexit Party leader.

Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage has said he will have candidates in more than 600 constituencies unless Boris Johnson agrees to go for a No Deal Brexit.

He announced the party will fight for seats held by Labour and other Remainer MPs. But while helping secure the Tory base vote, it may hamper them where they finished a close second in 2017.
