Nigel Farage has warned the government that the Brexit Party will challenge in the upcoming general election if they fail to deliver Brexit by October 31.

The former Ukip leader was reelected as an MEP for the party he formed just last month.

He said: ‘Never before in British politics has a new party launched just six weeks ago topped the polls in a national election.

‘The reason of course is very obvious: we voted to leave in a referendum, we were supposed to do so on March 29 and we haven’t.

‘There’s a huge message here, massive message here – the Labour and Conservative parties could learn a big lesson from tonight – though I don’t suppose that they actually will.’



He added that his party wanted to be part of the negotiations before the new Brexit date of October 31.

‘If we don’t leave on October 31 then the scores you have seen for the Brexit Party today will be repeated in a general election, and we are getting ready for it.’

Farage’s Brexit Party won 915,686 votes and four MEP seats in the South East region, as they stormed to victory across the country.

The anti-Brexit Lib Dems came in second, winning 653,743 votes and three seats.

The Tories and Labour won just one seat apiece in the South East, a telling reflection of their dismal nights nationwide.
