Nigel Farage now speaking at a Brexit Party rally in Hull. He says: ‘In traditional Labour areas there is no love and no enthusiasm for Jeremy Corbyn whatsoever. That gives us a phenomenal opportunity in parts of the country like this.’ 
Farage says BXP candidates are coming under 'relentless phone calls, emails and abuse' to stand down. 'There’s a full scale attempt to stop men and women freely putting themselves up before the UK electorate. You would’ve thought this was Venezuela. A complete & utter disgrace.'
Farage: 'The odds are there will be a small Conservative majority, just because Labour are in so much trouble everywhere.'
Farage apologises to Brexit Party supporters for his decision to stand down from 317 Tory seats but says it was the 'right thing to do'. Says: 'There is a dilemma, I accept that. I need to apologise to a lot of people who desperately wanted to vote for us in those seats.'
