More lies and bullshit.

I particularly laughed at this one. Just shows how much people have been duped.

5. Free ports

Boris Johnson said his Brexit deal would allow the UK to "do things differently and better if we choose - from free ports to free-trade deals". Mr Johnson has spoken about free ports in the past and claimed the EU stops us from setting up new ones.

But the UK already can have free ports or tax-free zones as a member state of the EU.

Free ports are small free-trade zones, sometimes called special economic zones, in which the normal tax and tariff rules of the country in which they are based do not apply.

There are more than 80 such zones across the EU - although they are still governed by EU-wide customs rules.

I see agreement has been reached on 60 seats for tactical voting to undermine the Tory candidate.

Well, I say agreement, Labour have agreed to take part in 0 of those.

Raab's seat is one of those they reckon they can win and are targeting apparently.

There are going to be some big names losing their seats in December i reckon.

Did anyone else see Johnson at the Cenotaph this morning? What a shambles of a man.

Had that been Corbyn dressed like that the press would have been laying in to him.

The Brexit Party has withdrawn from 317 seats.

Makes you wonder what sort of deal has been made behind the scenes.

The Tories are full on UKIP now anyway so it doesn't make much difference.

Fwiw I don't believe a deal will have been done, yet. I would suspect that farage is more likely to be storing up brownie points for his post election coalition negotiations.?
Besides, this selfless act by Lord farage will allow him more funds to spend on the seats his party does contest, thereby actually increasing his potential foothold.

It certainly seriously further undermines the chances of this country preventing it's current intended lemming strategy. :(

Comparing the last general election with this one at the same stages the parties in the polls are:

Tory -8.6%
Labour -0.1%
Liberals +6.5%
Brexit/UKIP +2.5%
Gren +0.7%

The tories are still 10% ahead of labour who are 12.5% ahead of the liberals.

I wonder what the DUP intend to do? They don't support Johnson's brexit deal.
