TREVOR KAVANAGH Nigel Farage’s one-man band triumphantly marches on through the Tory heartlands

Thanks to Theresa May single-handedly putting a bomb under the Tory Party, countless former supporters will now vote for his new Brexit Party

BORIS JOHNSON was vilified last summer when he slammed Theresa May’s botched Chequers Deal as a “suicide vest”. If anything, it was an understatement.

Mrs May has indeed put a bomb under the Tory Party — until now the most successful political machine in history. It may be too badly damaged ever to win another General Election.

Theresa May single-handedly put a bomb under the Tory Party, giving way to Nigel Farage who can now speak on behalf of the 17.4million people who voted to leave

The PM has single-handedly turned the previously remote nightmare of Britain under the jackboot of Marxist sympathiser Jeremy Corbyn into vivid reality.

The 2016 Referendum handed her a uniquely popular Tory issue supported by a record 17.4million voters of all parties — and she turned it like weedkiller on her own grass roots.

The party faces wipeout in next week’s town hall elections followed by humiliation in EU elections on May 23.

Thanks to blundering Theresa, countless formerly staunch supporters will vote for Nigel Farage’s new Brexit Party. I will be among them.

In just over a fortnight, Farage has grabbed up to 27 per cent of the EU election vote, ahead of both Labour and the Tories.

This is a clear personal endorsement for the man who invented Brexit. Farage now speaks unequivocally for 17.4million Leave voters — including Labour’s.

NIGE IS HERE TO STAY

Strikingly, 40 per cent of Mrs May’s core activists plan to vote Farage, not Tory, in the EU poll.

“She has dug up the Ukip corpse and put Nigel Farage’s name on it,” says a Tory MP.

This time Nige is here to stay. A future Tory leader might have to beg Farage for support — and he might not oblige.

Mrs May has infuriated loyalists by sitting down with Corbyn to discuss how best he might skewer their party and by squandering £109million on the EU elections she vowed would never happen.


Farage will turn this into a mini-second referendum, a chance for all those who voted Leave in 2016 to blow a raspberry at the politicians who betrayed their historic mandate.

Their pleasure will come at a price as the Tories are kicked out of office at the next General Election, whenever it is held. Any hope the great British public are too sensible to vote for Jezza is for the birds. There are votes in climate change.

At a rally in Nottingham, Farage boasted his Brexit Party will soon have more supporters than the Tories

Last week’s calm acceptance of hippie mayhem on the streets of London shows there is an appetite for anti-establishment protest.

They might live to regret it, but a brief dose of anti-capitalist socialism holds no fear nowadays for the public school, university educated middle class “swampies” clogging our commercial arteries.

The Tory Party today faces nothing less than a life-or- death crisis. It urgently needs to pick someone with at least a ghost of a chance of winning, and that means someone who embraces Brexit. It must tell Mrs May to go — and replace her as soon as possible with someone who can win back those Brexit votes.

Right now, that rules out Remainers Sajid Javid and Jeremy Hunt.

Both have become born-again Brexiteers. In Mr Hunt’s case, it was a painfully orchestrated process smacking of opportunism.

Brexit is not the only issue which requires fresh thinking. Like a spent hurricane, the party has lost its identity.

Who knows where it stands on the housing crisis, knife crime, transport, education, or even immigration?

Worse, the May Government has swallowed its own Project Fear.

It seems terrified to claim credit for record job numbers, strong investment and growth which puts the vaunted European Union in the shade.

Far from behaving as the champion of entrepreneurs and wealth creators, the knee-jerk tendency is further regulation and Treasury meddling.

Instead of standing up and fighting with bold ideas and fresh policies, ministers sink into pre-emptive cringe.

As they whimper, “please don’t hit me,” Farage’s one-man band is marching triumphantly through Tory heartlands.

The Cult of Corbyn



WE may have to get used to the idea of singing a chorus of “O, Jeremy Corbyn” before work each morning under giant portraits of the Great Leader.

The Cult of Corbyn is an uncomfortable proposition, especially for Jewish citizens justifiably appalled by Momentum Labour’s vicious anti-Semitism.

But the idea of lone rum-swigger Diane Abbott in charge of the Home Office is equally problematic.

Will Jezza’s ex-girlfriend have to take regular breath tests to see if she’s fit to run Britain’s already chaotic police and crime agencies?

MAN OF THE PAYPAL Nigel Farage’s Brexit Party has signed up 60,000 paying supporters in just nine days with £50 a minute boosting its coffers

The former Ukip leader boasted he will soon have more backers than the “dying” Tory Party

Exclusive

The Sun on Sunday

NIGEL Farage opened up his Brexit Party’s PayPal account last night — to reveal 60,000 paid-up supporters in just nine days since its launch.

Fed-up voters have stumped up £1.5million, joining at the rate of one every 30 seconds and boosting coffers by £50 a minute.

Supporters have been joining Farage's Brexit Party at the rate of one every 30 seconds and cheered the former Ukip leader on at the Nottingham rally

Last night the former Ukip leader boasted he will soon have more backers than the “dying” Tory Party and be set to change the face of British politics.

He said: “I’m getting a good vibe just by looking at the sheer numbers who are joining us. I’ve been reading their letters and emails. They feel let down

“We’re going to field 70 candidates in the Euro elections but it won’t stop there. This is now a long-term commitment we’re taking on and we’re going for it.”

HUGE APPETITE FOR FARAGE

Unlike the main political parties, nearly every penny of funding comes from small donors. He logged on to the PayPal account to let us see the range of people paying £25 to become registered supporters — with 15,811 joining on launch day alone.

Mr Farage reckons that by polling day on May 23 the party will have overtaken the Tories’ 120,000 members. He said: “Our critics can’t believe this is happening.

“There are no concessions for young or old. No £3 membership fee like Labour. It’s a flat rate — and people are still joining. It shows the huge appetite there is.”

The party is run by a handful of officials so most of the money will be spent directly on campaigning.

Mr Farage, this week unveiling candidates joining Jacob Rees-Mogg’s sister Annuziata, said: “We’ll have some very good people standing who’ve done things in the real world — decision makers and deal makers, not career politicians.

“There will be people from Left of centre as well. The political divide is no longer Left or Right, it’s Leave or Remain. The two-party system is broken and Parliament doesn’t represent us.”

If you believe in democracy, then vote for the Brexit Party

The vote for Brexit was a brilliant ballot-box revolt – it must be defended tooth and nail.


 Brendan O'Neill
Editor
22nd April 2019



If you believe in democracy, then there’s only one thing you can do at the forthcoming EU elections: vote for the Brexit Party. This is the only serious party that is devoted to upholding the 2016 vote to leave the EU. It is the only serious party that respects what 17.4million of us – the largest bloc of voters in UK history – said in June 2016. It is the party that promises to do what the establishment parties flat-out refuse to do: implement the British people’s mass, democratic, positive and inspiring decision to end our nation’s membership of the European Union. For this reason, spiked is endorsing the Brexit Party, and we sincerely hope you will too.

It is, of course, an outrage that we are having to take part in the European Parliament elections in May. There is still a small possibility the elections won’t go ahead, but the default position, and the very likely position, is that they will. So, three years after we voted in our millions to leave the EU, still we’re expected to behave like citizens of the EU. That’s because they really do think they own us. The Brussels oligarchy really does believe that our democratic vote against it – against its institutions, its undemocratic laws, and its secretive, sinister commissions – was meaningless. But this is all the more reason to get stuck in to the EU elections in May and to send a very clear message to the EU and the UK establishments: ‘We were deadly serious about leaving.’

Our attitude should be: let’s tell them again. Let’s shout ‘Leave!’ from the rooftops. Let’s add an exclamation mark to our vote to leave. Let’s confront them once more with their worst nightmare: the fact that millions of Britons are politically opposed to the European Union and still want to leave it. Let’s ensure that these EU elections follow in the footsteps of the 2014 EU elections, when UKIP – then led by Nigel Farage, who now leads the Brexit Party – won the popular vote: 4,376,635 votes to Labour’s 4,020,646. And in the footsteps of the 2015 General Election, when the Tories won a majority on a promise of holding an EU referendum. And of the 2016 referendum itself, of course, when 17.4million of us backed Brexit. And of the 2017 General Election, when 80 per cent of us voted for the two parties – Tories and Labour – that promised to respect the referendum result. (We now know they were lying.) For years now, in election after election, millions of voters have made their opposition to the EU clear again and again and again. Now let’s do it again. Let’s keep doing it until they realise we will not stop until they give us what we want: freedom from the dead, undemocratic hand of the EU bureaucracy.



And the best way to do that in the elections in May? By backing the Brexit Party. The establishment’s fear of Farage’s new party is palpable. You can almost smell it. You can see it in the calls by respectable broadsheet newspapers for the Brexit Party to be banned from the airwaves. You can see it in the deranged insults being flung at Farage and the candidates he has lined up. They’re being called far right, fascistic, dangerous, when they are clearly none of these things. You can see it in the meltdown of the political and chattering classes every time a new poll reveals that the Brexit Party is soaring ahead. The latest poll shows the Brexit Party leapfrogging the Tories and Labour and looking on course to win the EU elections. This fills the establishment with dread because they know a victory for the Brexit Party would completely shatter their ‘Soft Brexit’ approach; it would show that their numerous elitist efforts to stitch up or kill off Brexit puts them utterly at odds with public opinion. Success for the Brexit Party would be the worst blow they have suffered since the referendum itself – that’s why we must make sure it happens.

Let’s put it plainly: Brexit is the most important political cause in Britain for a generation. For longer than that, in fact. It is the defining issue of our times, the pivotal issue, the issue upon which democracy itself now rests. The fate of Brexit is the fate of the founding principle of democracy – the idea that ordinary people have the wisdom and must also have the right to help decide the political make-up and political future of the nation they live in. Generations of people – from the Levellers to the Peterloo marchers to the Chartists to the Suffragettes – fought and died for the institutionalisation of this principle. And now it is under threat. If Brexit doesn’t happen, on the basis that voters are too stupid and gullible to be entrusted with such big constitutional decisions, then the struggle for democracy will have been for nought. The fight for Brexit is now a fight for the very ideal of democracy, for the belief that working men and women are just as capable – more so, in fact – of making important political decisions as lords, bureaucrats and rich people are.

Brexit has thrown into sharp relief the most important and historic political division in this country – that between elites who fear and distrust the democratic process and ordinary people who value democracy incredibly highly because they know it is the only means they have of effecting change. If Brexit falls, democracy falls too. Defending Brexit is the most urgent political task of our times. Anything that can be done to weaken the Remainer elites’ stranglehold on the Brexit process, and to dent their arrogant elitism towards voters, and to make clear to them that we the people expect them to do as we instructed, must be done. A strong result for the Brexit Party in May would seriously disorientate the anti-democratic elites and reopen the space for discussing Britain’s democratic future. Let’s make this happen. Let’s tell them again. Let’s never stop.

Why I’m standing for the Brexit Party

The establishment parties have abandoned democratic politics.

Alka Sehgal Cuthbert
22nd April 2019
Spiked




I am standing as a candidate for the Brexit Party in the upcoming European elections. I can see how it might be a bit of a surprise to my friends and family. I’m Indian, I have a doctorate from Cambridge, I’ve lived in Barcelona, and I like to travel. Surely I’d be more at home in the supposedly progressive EU?

But the EU is not the institution some make it out to be. While I love European culture, I do not feel at home as a member of the EU.

The EU is not a haven of social justice – it is a thoroughly racist institution. In order

to maintain EU free movement, it has to ensure its borders are kept tightly sealed against non-EU people – as Belgian MEP Guy Verhofstadt gleefully tweeted recently. Furthermore, the EU has seen fit to send large amounts of money to governments in Libya and elsewhere to keep people away from Europe by any brutal means necessary.

That poster, or anything else Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage may have said, pales into insignificance compared with the egregious racism of the EU. (And that is not even counting the deleterious effects of the Common Agricultural Policy on agricultural development in Africa.)

Another reason I’m standing as a candidate for the Brexit Party is that, unlike the other mainstream parties, it openly affirms the importance of democracy – the most important aspect of which is the majority vote. Without this, anyone without access to the levers of political or cultural power remains more vulnerable to the whims of the ruling political class.

In the past, the Labour Party, and the political left in general, aspired to represent the interests, beliefs and ideas of the majority of citizens: the working class. This representative function was an important part of social-democratic governance in Britain in the postwar era. It helped form the basis for a social contract between competing interests in society.
Political representation via parties was the means by which the political ruling class could win the consent of a majority of its citizens for its policy decisions, and the citizens could hold their leaders accountable. This political order was expressed through public institutions that afforded varying levels of professional trust, autonomy and human judgement. These ethical values inflected the norms of everyday social life.

This is what has been undermined by our membership of the European Union. Everyday life in the social-democratic era may not have been great for everyone all the time, but nor was it a sea of racism just waiting for ethical purification via the EU, as some Remainers would have us believe.

When my parents were looking for their first house in a London suburb in the early 1960s, the owners were told by the neighbours not to ‘sell the house to the Pakis’. Being Welsh, with their own anti-English predilection, the owners did exactly that (except that my parents are Indian, not Pakistani). A year later, the same neighbours were telling my mother to hand over her dirty washing so they could wash it in their washing machine for her.

My mother had just had my younger brother, and we couldn’t afford a washing machine. A neighbour had spotted my mother hanging out nappies shortly after giving birth, and asked her why she wasn’t resting. They offered to wash the dirty nappies. They never became best friends, but they didn’t need to. They tolerated each other as fellow humans and lived peaceably for decades after.

People like those neighbours, as well as industrial workers in other parts of the UK, are the people who the Labour Party and the left have abandoned. After it lost their support during the 1980s, when the Thatcher government effectively tore up the established social contract, Labour and the left decided the working class was a lost cause. They became increasingly focused on the middle class and began to see ordinary people as a cultural and political problem in need of increasing regulation by enlightened leaders, either in Westminster or Brussels.

The delegitimisation of the working class led to the delegitimisation of democracy. Politicians began to draw their authority not from citizens, but from their European peers. And as nation states have turned themselves into member states, supra-national legislative systems and policies have bypassed established national democratic processes.

While governance definitely needs expertise and specialised knowledge, politics per se doesn’t. What it needs is an ethical idealism to underpin political realism. Our established political parties are bereft of both, and stand painfully exposed. That is why I am standing as a candidate for the Brexit Party – a party which has the unique aim of making itself redundant. It has a certain dialectical as well as democratic appeal.

Remain’s poll blow ... from EU citizens



As opinion polls continue to show Nigel Farage surging, Remain strategists have been pinning their hopes on the 3.5 million EU citizens eligible to vote in next month’s European elections.

But they look set to be dashed. I understand that so far only one in ten European nationals is signed up, with the deadline set to expire on May 7. This is causing most concern to Change UK, who had been hoping their second referendum pledge would give them a boost among EU voters, especially in London.

‘To be honest, these elections have come too soon for us,’ a party official acknowledges to me. ‘We only just managed to get our own registration papers submitted in time.’

Meanwhile Brexit Party officials are increasingly confident they will not be hampered by a boycott from disillusioned Leavers.

‘We actually think we’re going to get a higher turnout than in 2014,’ one tells me. ‘People are saying, “Thank God. You’ve given a reason to come out and vote.” ’

Could the polls be underestimating the scale of the Farage insurgency?

I'll give Labour a very nasty surprise... especially dishonest Yvette Cooper, says Nigel Farage as he slams party for 'abandoning their voters'

Farage blames Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party as much as Tories for Brexit delay
He said MP Yvette Cooper had been 'dishonest in the extreme' with her Leave-backing electorate
Farage called Labour a 'nailed-on Remainer party' despite their claims otherwise

By Harry Cole, Deputy Political Editor For The Mail On Sunday
28 April 2019

The new Brexit Party leader has vowed to give Labour a ‘nasty surprise’ in the European elections as he turns it against them for ‘abandoning their voters’.

Nigel Farage told The Mail on Sunday he ‘absolutely, absolutely’ blames Jeremy Corbyn’s party as much as the Tories for the delay to Britain’s departure from the EU, ‘in fact more so in some ways’.

Mr Farage has vowed to campaign throughout the Brexit northern heartlands, calling out Labour MPs who support remaining in defiance of their constituents.

Nigel Farage, the leader of the new Brexit Party, told The Mail on Sunday he ‘absolutely, absolutely’ blames Jeremy Corbyn’s party as much as the Tories for the delay to Britain’s departure from the EU, ‘in fact more so in some ways’

He will target Yvette Cooper in particular for leading efforts to frustrate the process, despite her own seat in Yorkshire backing Leave by 69.3 per cent.

He said the backbencher ‘has been dishonest in the extreme with her electorate, they need to know about her.

'She told people in Pontefract that she would honour the result of the referendum, yet she has now spent the last two years doing everything she can to undermine that result and reverse that result.

'This is literally a kick in the teeth for Labour voters.’

Mr Farage said: ‘The truth is Labour are now a nailed-on Remainer party. I just don’t think that millions of Labour voters realise the extent that this has been done to them.’

But last night Labour insiders hit back: ‘Of course Nigel Farage has a simple message for voters who are fed up that Brexit hasn’t yet been implemented and that frustration has exposed the Tories who only had one job, and they’ve made a right mess of it.

He will target Yvette Cooper in particular for leading efforts to frustrate the process, despite her own seat in Yorkshire backing Leave by 69.3 per cent

'But we mustn’t be complacent either. We know that the one thing many Leave and Remain voters actually want is for this to be just sorted out, in a way that is least chaotic and protects living standards.’

Leaked internal Labour polling seen by this newspaper says: ‘The Brexit situation is extremely fluid and is hitting the Tories harder on competence and ability to deliver on Brexit than it is specifically hitting Labour, but there is also strong evidence of a wide “plague on your houses” Brexit-related negativity about both main parties at present.

‘This looks to be having more of an effect in depressing turnout than any significant switching of votes at this stage.’

JAMES GLANCY Leave voters feel insulted and ignored — my Brexit Party will act for the people

James Glancy, who is standing for the Brexit Party, says it's vital we stand up to the EU super-state

Comment
By James Glancy, Brexit Party candidate and former Royal Marine and SBS serviceman
25th April 2019

I AM proud to be British and have been willing to risk my life to defend our values of tolerance, diversity and the rule of law.

But our greatest asset — our free and tolerant democracy — is under threat.

Leave voters feel insulted and ignored but the Brexit Party says it will act for the people

The Brexit Party has assembled a diverse group of politicians from former Tory Ann Widdecombe to left-wing grandee Claire Fox

The failure of our politicians to listen to the people — and their complete lack of leadership — has compelled me to take a stand.

I am standing for the Brexit Party on the single issue of democracy. We have assembled a diverse group of candidates from across the political spectrum, from former Tory Ann Widdecombe to left-wing grandee Claire Fox.

We are all unified in our desire to pressure Westminster to deliver what the people instructed.

It is vital we restore parliamentary democracy. Through my service with the Royal Marines and the Special Boat Service, I witnessed the Arab Spring first-hand and saw the horrors suffered by a people with no representation in their political system.

I never thought our political class would deliberately undermine the people.

But they have done so by failing to deliver on the 2016 referendum. This after the 2018 General Election manifestos of the Conservative and Labour parties clearly pledged to honour the result.

Voters on all sides have been betrayed. The final straw for me was seeing the men who sent me to a questionable war in Afghanistan — Tony Blair, Lord Adonis and Alastair Campbell — conspiring to undermine the people.

STAND UP TO AN EU SUPER-STATE

They have been colluding with other governments in Europe to stop Brexit.

It is vital we stand up against the damage this hardcore group who want to create an EU super-state are inflicting on British democracy.

It is deeply saddening to see the divisions across our country. People voted to Remain and Leave for a range of legitimate reasons.
We are in this position due to John Major and Tony Blair’s arrogance in not consulting the

people on the treaties that embedded us in the EU — Maastricht, Amsterdam, Nice and Lisbon.

The public should have been consulted on these major transfers of power from Parliament towards the supranational structures of the EU.

We are now left with this political mess as their legacy.

One of the greatest testaments to Britain is that so many people are willing to take huge risks to come and live here, to be free and prosperous.

My ancestors came to Britain from Ireland in the 19th century to escape famine and persecution. They settled in Greenock in the Scottish Lowlands.

I am deeply disturbed that Brexit has now come to focus on identity and immigration, instead of on democracy and who runs our country.

We should celebrate immigrants as the heroes who want to be British and part of the national *success story. Brexit is not a right-wing project. Five million Labour voters and a third of ethnic-minority voters backed Leave.

Yet from some of the rhetoric spouted, you would think that Brexit voters are all ignorant racists. The result is that the Leave voters feel patronised, insulted and ignored. Look at the 203 Labour MPs — many of whom represent Leave-voting constituencies — who voted for a second referendum to overturn the first.

The contempt they show for the ordinary people who put their faith in the democratic process is breathtaking.

If politicians fail to deliver the result of the referendum, they will be guilty of selling out the people and undermining Britain’s international credibility as a stable and free liberal democracy.

The backlash from the public would be unthinkable.

Beyond Brexit, I see an opportunity to implement the strongest animal welfare and environmental legislation in the world. It is a chance to reset our relationship with nature, away from the Common Agricultural Policy.

I strongly disagree with those who want to weaken environmental policy.

Yet the beauty of an accountable liberal democracy is that those decisions can be made in our own Parliament.

A vote for the Brexit Party will send shockwaves across Westminster, reminding them that the people are in charge.
