Nigel Farage has handed Boris Johnson a General Election boost after he dropped plans to stand Brexit Party candidates in more than 300 of the 600 constituencies he had targeted. The Brexit Party leader said he had taken the "difficult decision" not to contest the 317 seats held by the Tories at the last election amid fears it could lead to a hung parliament and a second referendum.
The announcement was welcomed by the Prime Minister who said it was recognition that only the Conservatives could "get Brexit done".
