Brexit Party’s founder urges Nigel Farage to help Boris Johnson win the election instead of a ‘kamikaze’ battle
NIGEL Farage has been urged to help Boris Johnson win the general election – by the Brexit Party’s founder.
Catherine Blaiklock told the charismatic leader to re-think his threat to stage a “kamikaze” election battle with Tories.
She warned his threat to fight every seat unless the PM agrees a non-aggression pact will rob him of votes, hand power to Jeremy Corbyn and halt Brexit.
Mr Farage has demanded BoJo ditches his departure deal, and promises a “clean-break” or he will fight his candidates in every seat.
But Ms Blaiklock, a former Ukip economics spokesman who first registered the Brexit Party, said: “How can Boris cave into a public demand akin to blackmail.”

She advised Mr Farage to “step back and rethink”.
And she added: “Nigel, I have voted for you in the past. Not now.
“The deal offered is not perfect, but nothing is ever perfect. Help Boris win, step back and take the Marxists on, not the Tories.”
