FARAGE'S dramatic U-turn over Brexit Party candidates in the General Election is a clear sign that a secret deal has been done with Johnson and Trump.

Within a week of announcing he would stand candidates in every Constituency because Johnson's deal was "not Brexit."

Farage has now flip-flopped and said he will not stand candidates in any of the 317 seats won by the Tories in 2017, but will focus on trying to unseat Labour MPs.

Farage's denials about any inducements to him for his somersault are as genuine as the constant smile on his face for the TV cameras.

We now have a farright alliance of the Tories and Brexit Party against Corbyn’s Labour.

Hitherto, ex-City worker Farage has carefully cultivated the fake image of an "anti-Establishment" politician, the better to conceal his far-right, Trump-inspired agenda, like privatising the NHS, and opening up the British economy to even greater US penetration, ownership, and control.

Even his opposition to the EU is drenched in hypocrisy because he has regularly stood in EU elections and accepted the fat salary, perks, and pension that go with being an MEP.

His U-turn over the general election has completely blown this "antiEstablishment" veneer, exposing him as a faithful servant of the ruling class.
