If the Brexit party play up that Boris is an incompetent leader that can't take them out of the EU like they did with May then they could be a real threat to Tories. Nigel Farage is a twat but he knows how to rile up likeminded individuals to vote the way he wants them too and I doubt his ego would allow him to not field candidates wherever he can.

To be fair, UKIP never put any sort of dent in the voting even at the height of all of this, pre or post referendum, and despite the party line... I think even Sun readers realise that Brexit party is just UKIP 2.0. Farage being the face of it will likely confuse a lot of them into thinking that it's literally the same party with a new name .

If they can replicate even part of the success that Farage had when he fronted UKIP, the tories should be worried. They're also dealing with the fallout of May's reign to boot.

Of course, if that happens we run the risk of a Brexit/Tory coalition which is the worst case scenario.

tbh I don't think No Deal should be taken off the table - not because I want to leave with No Deal, but so we have an extra hand to play when it comes to negotiating with the EU.

Isn't it though? My impression was that Farage didn't like the way extremiists were attached to UKIP, so formed this second party? For all the good it did
