I don't think this is a good idea for the Tories long term. Pushing Farage away will only make him stronger.

I’ll laugh the day he becomes prime minister.

The Tories should instead adopt a “united front” strategy of welcoming all as allies who in good faith support Brexit in October and leave it to the voters to judge suitability for office.

Boris is a goon being played by his own party. He shouldn’t be tossing offers of help out the porthole willy nilly. It gives far too much leverage to the opposition by swearing not to use a specific chess piece.

Bad mistake on Johnson’s part.

Johnson also originally didn’t want anything to do with Trump. Maybe he’s just not as smart as people think.

It could be that Boris is playing a game where he gives the Establishment a choice: you can deal with me -- or if I'm swept away, you can deal with Nigel.

Martin Luther King used Malcolm X as a similar alternative.

This is a very bad strategy by Johnson. I think his ego may be dictating the decision that he will not work with Farage. If the goal is to exit the EU without being a serf to the EU, then Johnson should accept Farage’s offer of cooperation.

This seems very small minded. There should at least be a tacit alliance to help insure Brexit.

Nigel Farage is the last great hope for the UK.

But Tori’s liars are “fit and proper” representatives of the people. What absolute rot.

They should make him their ambassador to the EU.

Tories are losers and stupid too. The reds are going to destroy them, again.
