NIGEL FARAGE

Leading Republicans spent much of the first three days at a conservative political gathering avoiding Donald Trump’s chief grievances or ignoring him altogether.

British broadcasting veteran Andrew Neil has stepped down as chairman of GB News, just three months after he launched it amid great fanfare and an ambition to provide an alternative to an alleged “metropolitan elite” bias among the established news channels.

British lawmakers say they found “shocking conditions” at a facility for people arriving in England on small boats.

A British news channel that launched as a right-leaning alternative to the BBC and Sky News has recruited populist politician Nigel Farage as a presenter.

Five years ago Wednesday, Britons voted in a referendum that was meant to bring certainty to the U.K.’s unsettled relationship with its European neighbors, but it most certainly did not.

He's known throughout most of Europe as Mr. Brexit, but not so well known at home in France.

If Johnson cannot expel enough EU fishing boats from U.K. waters, a no-deal Brexit would surely ensue, creating chaos and costs for all and ruin for some. The French, Britain's fiercest political rival for access to U.K. waters, know about symbolism — and timing — too. As well as France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Ireland and Denmark are among those directly implicated by the potential closing off of U.K. waters. Deas said he expected there to be protests from disgruntled EU fishermen — especially French ones — if there is a deal that sees quotas reduced. Most agree Boulogne would be a prime target because so much U.K. fish is exported through there, and a blockade is relatively easy to achieve.

Britains envoy to Brussels, Tim Barrow, sent a letter to EU headquarters informing them of Londons decision. But the commissions incoming president has twice written to British Prime Minister Boris Johnson demanding that someone be named.

(Joe Giddens/PA via AP)Britain's Brexit Party has rejected an electoral pact with the ruling Conservatives, saying it will field 300 candidates in next month's election to force Prime Minister Boris Johnson to deliver on promises of a clean break with the European Union. Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage made the comments Thursday, the final day for candidates to register for the Dec. 12 poll. Farage has told the BBC his party had forced Johnson to promise to change direction. What we now have to do is to hold him to account to make sure we get a proper Brexit, and that's my job.The Daily Telegraph reported that Farage rejected a Conservative offer to put up only token opposition in 40 key seats if the Brexit Party would stand aside in other constituencies.

Hartlepool has elected lawmakers from the left-of-center Labour Party for more than half a century. The 2016 referendum on Britain's EU membership split the country into two camps: leavers and remainers. It would also, according to most economists, leave the country poorer, by imposing barriers to business with the EU, Britain's biggest trading partner. Hartlepool, where the Brexit Party controls the town council, is the party's top target in the election. "The Brexit Party seem to think they can come here with some southern billionaire candidate and just waltz into the place," Hill said.

Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage speaks at a campaign rally in Pontypool, Wales, Friday Nov. 8, 2019. Britain's Brexit split with Europe is one of the main issues as the country goes to the polls in a General Election on Dec. 12. Farage says the party will not run in 317 Conservative-held seats so it does not split the pro-Brexit vote. The announcement marks a major shift in the party's strategy for the Dec, 12 election, since last week Farage said the party would run in 600 seats. Farage has been under huge pressure from Brexit supporters not to run candidates in seats where there is a risk of splitting the Brexit vote.
