“If you don’t leave on October 31st, then the scores you’ve seen for the Brexit Party today will be repeated”, he warns.

Farage’s latest row with the BBC suits both sides

Marr’s interview has shaped the news agenda whilst the Brexit Party leader has another opportunity to burnish his outsider status.
