It was the story of the day. After days of uncharacteristic silence, Nigel Farage declared he wouldn’t stand candidates in seats currently held by the Tories. Christopher Hope takes you behind the scenes at the Brexit Party rally in Hartlepool where he made the announcement. And, in a sit down interview, Mr Farage tells Chopper how he feels about letting some candidates down.

Plus we get reaction from his supporters, two Brexit Party candidates who will be standing and The Telegraph’s brilliant sketch writer, Michael Deacon. 

Why does Mr Farage claim Boris Johnson’s Brexit deal “isn’t Brexit”? Will he definitely fight Tory target seats? And should Labour also withdraw some candidates to secure Brexit?

Listen for full enlightenment.
