Donald Trump tonight lavished praise on Boris Johnson and urged him to strike an election pact with Nigel Farage as the US President launched a stinging attack on Jeremy Corbyn.

The Brexit Party leader said he was offered a seat in the House of Lords last Friday, branding the offer 'ridiculous'.

Nigel Farage, writing on Tuesday, said: 'I have no great love for the Tories, but I can see that by giving Mr Johnson half a chance we will prevent a second referendum.'

Nigel Farage was tonight warned by his political ally Arron Banks that he has '48 hours to save Brexit' and that he must stand down more of his party's election candidates.

Nigel Farage complained that his former colleagues 'don't understand' the election dynamics in Labour marginals after they dramatically abandoned him.

A new YouGov survey showed there are 85 constituencies where the leading party is ahead by five per cent or less and in many of those seats the Brexit Party is standing a candidate.

Brexit has dominated this year's election with the phrase 'Let's get Brexit Done' becoming Boris Johnson's mantra and the exit poll confirms the Tory's are set for a large majority.

In a keynote speech in London, Sajid Javid said Nigel Farage 'deserved credit' for leaving Ukip as it lurched to the far-Right when taken over by Gerard Batten and Tommy Robinson.

The former prime minister singled out Boris Johnson's new chief of staff, the then Ukip leader Mr Farage and Mr Banks, the Leave.EU chief and controversial businessman.
