If you wish to vote in the EU elections and and to leave the EU with no deal or a deal without a permanent customs union then you have a binary choice @brexitparty_uk or @UKIP. Most will choose @brexitparty_uk with respected @TiceRichard as Chairman and @Nigel_Farage as Leader. .

Government policy is leave the EU on 31st Oct preferably with a deal but no further extension nor to revoke article 50. there will be a 3 line whip against any amendment to that policy. and any Tory MP who votes against/abstains I’m told will not stand again as a conservative. .
