Establishment lickspittle “Sir” Nigel Farage’s coveted knighthood will surely finally arrive from a grateful Boris Johnson .

The Thatcherite city slicker, a Tory member for a decade before switching to equally Right-wing Ukip then creating a Brexit Party which is really Il Duce’s personal company, yearns for a Ruritanian title.

Disappointed it wasn’t conferred after the 2016 referendum, unlike the rejected peerage he claims was offered by the Tories as recently as a few days ago, the grinning bauble “Sir” Nigel wouldn’t be required to register ill-gotten financial gains.

Pulling candidates out of 317 Tory seats and standing against only Labour and other opposition parties may not have a significant impact on the election result though it dashes Jeremy Corbyn ’s hopes of picking up a few Conserative marginals.

The best guesstimate is Farage’s gang attracts two Tory voters for every one gained from Labour.

By not splitting the Brexit fanatics in Tory seats the survival chances are improved for defending Conservatives.

Labour’s unspoken dirty secret is it requires Brexit Party wannabes in vulnerable seats to dampen Johnson’s blues where Corbyn’s lot are fighting off a strong Tory challenge.

Private schoolboy Farage consistently misrepresented first Ukip’s and now the Brexit Party’s appeal to Labour voters to burnish his vainglorious credential as a posh-of-the-people.

The lasting impact of bottler Farage’s surrender act, waving the white flag at Johnson without a political concession, perhaps that future knighthood his only compensation for a humiliating withdrawal agreement, is confirming his, his party and Brexit’s true colours.

Brexit is a Right-wing plot by Thatcherites such as Farage to turn Britain into a deregulated Treasure Island for the world’s filthy rich as the expense of workers’ rights and public services.

The charlatan who advocated privatising the NHS is wrestling Johnson to discover which climbs furthest and fastest up Donald Trump ’s colon.

Labour’s fighting Johnson’s Tory Brexit Party and Farage’s Brexit Tory Party.

Chump “Sir” Nigel’s simplified those battlelines.

Voters see Boris Farage and Nigel Johnson are two cheeks on the same Tory backside.
