Brexit Party launches Election Manifesto

Brexit Party Leader Nigel Farage launches his election manifesto in London, Britain, 22 November 2019.

Farage promised a “political revolution that puts ordinary people first”.

The party leader pledged to cut the foreign aid budget, abolish the House of Lords and cap permanent immigration at 50,000 a year.

The Brexit Party is running in 275 seats, after deciding to stand down in the 317 won by the Tories in 2017.

It is also promising a “clean break” from all EU institutions.

Speaking in London, Mr Farage said his party would scrap VAT on fuel bills and stop companies earning less than £10,000 a year paying corporation tax.

He promised that millions of trees would be planted to absorb carbon emissions.

Mr Farage also said his party favoured making civil servants sign a “pledge of political neutrality” and devising “political guidelines” for the Supreme Court.

He added that MPs from his party would “hold Boris Johnson to his word” over Brexit, and act as “new radicals” in Parliament to “change politics for good”.

Britons go to the polls on 12 December in a general election.
