Watch Live: Nigel Farage’s Brexit Party Holds Campaign Launch

For a one-issue party that isn’t even one-year-old yet, the Brexit Party is having an outsize impact, polling alongside established parties, and now emerging as a critical powerbroker.

Nigel Farage’s Brexit Party emerged as the star of the spring’s EU Parliament vote. And now that a general election is a certainty, the Brexit Party is launching its campaign with much fanfare, but little information about how many candidates it will field.

That’s critically important: Late last month, reports emerged claiming that Farage would throw Boris Johnson, his ally from the Leave campaign, a bone by pulling candidates in hundreds of Tory districts who would risk splitting the vote and elevating Jeremy Corbyn to No. 10. Downing Street.

The campaign launch comes one day after the “do or die” Brexit deadline of Oct. 31, which Farage had earlier mocked.

Reporters will be watching to see if Farage does strike a deal with Johnson, or if the Brexit Party goes up against the Tories in hundreds of districts across the country.
