Great electoral strategy. Attack Labour Leave seats strongly....

Brexit Party could step aside for Tories in hundreds of seats in major boost for Boris Johnson

Senior figures in the anti-EU party, which topped the European elections earlier this year, say the party should field as few as 20 candidates to avoid splitting the Leave vote in key seats.

Brexit Party MEP John Longworth told The Times that it should focus on areas where it was likely to have the most impact, rather than contest hundreds of seats across the country.

"I think we ought to be targeted in terms of the number of seats that we decide to address,” he said.

"I can imagine that might be 20 or 30. They would be entirely winnable then if you poured all your resources into them. You probably would not get any more if you concentrated on the 600. But you would also get a better result for Brexit too."

The Telegraph and Financial Times meanwhile report that senior Brexit Party figures are split over whether to contest every seat or give a clear run to avowed Tory Eurosceptics.

Insiders are said to fear that the party could split the Leave vote in marginal seats, undermining the Conservative campaign and instead letting in pro-Remain Liberal Democrat or Labour MPs.

Speaking to Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage on LBC radio, the U.S. president said: “To be honest with you, this deal, under certain aspects of the deal, you can’t do it. You can’t trade. We can’t make a trade deal with the U.K.”

Trump added that under the Brexit deal agreed between Boris Johnson's government and the EU, “under certain ways we're precluded.”
