Nigel Farage could become a bargaining chip in talks between the DUP and the Conservatives.

Theresa May wants the support of the Democratic Unionist Party to form a government with a ‘confidence and supply’ deal.

But the Northern Irish party reportedly wants Farage to be brought into Brexit negotiations.

‘They hold a few cards,’ a source told the Sunday Times. ‘They want Farage as a lord or a role in government or he and Arron will put something together that will cause trouble for May.’

On top of everything else, the DUP is thought to want Farage involved. Can this please, please, please be the last straw. — Juli (@julijuxtaposed) June 11, 2017

DUP demanding Farage be part of Brexit negotiations? If true and May agrees, she will destroy her party and destroy our country. — Dan Murphy (@Dan_A_Murphy) June 11, 2017

Ukip faced near decimation in the general election, with leader Paul Nuttall resigning.

But Arron Banks, one of the party’s biggest donors, is reportedly considering relaunching the party with Nigel Farage if there is no government post on offer.



Nigel Farage already threatened a return after the election, saying: ‘If, two years down the road, we don’t have the Brexit we asked for I will have to get involved again.’

But the suggestion of him becoming a lord or becoming involved in negotiations as part of a coalition deal did not go down well with everyone.

‘I cannot believe that I have just read that article headline and that it is NOT April 1,’ one reader commented.
