NIGEL Farage has indicated he would prop up a Jeremy Corbyn government if it meant delivering Brexit.

Asked if he would form a coalition with Labour or the Tories, he said he would “do a deal with the devil” in order to secure Britain’s exit from the EU single market and customs union.

The former Ukip leader also said it was his “duty” to stand as an MP for his new Brexit Party at the next election to ensure the referendum vote is not overturned.

Mr Farage took his campaign yesterday to the West Yorkshire constituency of senior Labour MP Yvette Cooper, as he blamed her for the failure of the UK to leave the EU so far.

He claimed Labour will be in “very big trouble” in northern England at next week’s European Parliament elections because of the “real anger” of people there who backed Leave in 2016.

“It’s areas like this where I think the Labour party is vulnerable in the most extraordinary way.

“This is a 70% Leave constituency, these five towns voted Leave by a massive margin.

'DEAL WITH THE DEVIL'

“You’ve got a member of Parliament who, at the general election a year later, promised to honour the result, and has spent the last two years, effectively, trying to stop Brexit from happening.”

Asked after a rally in Pontefract if he would stand for Parliament again, he said: “I’m going to have to, of course. It’s a duty.

“We cannot ever allow again a great democratic exercise like this to be railroaded aside by career politicians of the Labour and Tory parties.”

He was asked if the Brexit Party would form a coalition with either Labour or the Tories, and replied: “If we can save £39billion, come out of the Customs Union, come out of the Single Market, come out of the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice and be a genuinely independent, self-governing democracy that can choose its own future, I’d do a deal with the devil to get that.”

Miss Cooper said later: “It won’t be Nigel Farage and right-wing hardliners who suffer if manufacturing jobs are lost and food prices go up as a result of the divisive No Deal chaos they want, it will be hard-working families in manufacturing towns like ours.

“We need some common sense and for the cross-party talks to bring people together and get a workable deal in place, not just people shouting at each other and putting local jobs at risk.”

Labour's Brexit policy is to keep the UK in the European customs union - and to seek a second referendum if that fails.

That suggests they could struggle to cut a deal with Mr Farage, who would never accept a customs union outcome.

But Mr Corbyn is a lifelong eurosceptic who may be willing to compromise on Brexit in order to enter Government.
