Missed this. "Nigel Farage boosted Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s chances of winning a majority by dramatically announcing his Brexit Party won’t fight to oust Conservatives at next month’s U.K. general election. The pound rose. The Brexit Party leader told a rally in Hartlepool, northeast England, on Monday that it was a difficult decision to stand down candidates in the 317 seats the Tories won in the last national vote in 2017, but said he’s reassured by Johnson’s plans for a sharper split with the European Union.... “I have got no great love for the Conservative Party,” Farage said. “But I can see right now that by giving Boris half a chance, by keeping him honest and holding him to account,” it will be possible to deliver the Brexit he said voters want. Farage’s decision will be a relief for Conservative strategists. The biggest headache for Johnson has been the prospect of Farage’s Brexit Party splitting the euroskeptic vote in key districts. That could allow Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour Party, or the pro-EU Liberal Democrats, to gain seats at the Tories’ expense." www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-11-11/farage-won-t-fight-tories-in-election-boost-for-u-k-s-johnsonNigel and the Brexit Party (that's not really a 'party' but a closed Nigel org: "Nigel Farage isn't the leader of a political party. He's the CEO, chairman and owner combined.") give Boris a big leg up on this one. www.politico.eu/article/nigel-farage-brexit-party-start-up-politics-eu-election/
