Nigel Farage won’t be standing as a candidate at the general election – only 5 responses you need
Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage has announced he won’t be standing as a candidate at next month’s general election.
Farage told the BBC he’d be so busy helping his party’s other candidates that he’d have no time not to be elected.
From tomorrow, I will be going out to campaign across the length and breadth of this country.
We will explain to people why Boris’ Brexit is a betrayal of the hopes of 17.4m.
That means I have no time to fight a seat myself, but I will support 600 other people who are. pic.twitter.com/ZffTkBNi5J

And these are the only 5 responses you need to that.
All Brexiters run into reality eventually – unless, like Farage, they run away from it.

Farage’s General Election record is much easier to remember than Henry VIII’s wives:

Nigel Farage confirms he won’t stand as an MP, despite the old saying ‘if at first you don’t succeed on seven separate occasions, try, try and try again’.

Note to broadcasters; Nigel Farage is not standing in this election, so any airtime you were thinking of giving him should go to an actual candidate.

To conclude …
No-one in the UK will be able to vote for @Nigel_Farage & no-one voted for him to lead his party but he is, undoubtedly, one of the big players in this election. Funny old world
