Nigel Farage declared he will “never” use the word manifesto during his Brexit Party campaign for European elections. The Brexit Party leader also claimed manifestos are a “deliberate tactic” used by other parties to “get away from a proper debate” on Brexit. TalkRADIO host Julia Hartley-Brewer asked: “Is it seriously reasonable to ask voters to actually put their faith in you, put their faith into your Party and vote for your Party when we don’t really know what you stand for as a Party other than Brexit? You have got a very wide coalition, you have got people from the far-left, you have got the likes of Claire Fox, you’ve got people very much from the right standing, and you’re going to bring that coalition together.

“How on earth are we supposed to predict, for instance, what your immigration policy would be? Your NHS policy, your schools policy?”

Mr Farage responded: “We’re fighting a European election in ten days time, a European election on European issues, in the wake of the greatest ever vote in the history of our nation.

“And I am not, not, not going to discuss domestic policies between now and next Thursday.

“This is a deliberate tactic being used by everybody else, because they want to get away from having a proper debate about the extent to which our Brexit vote and the promises made to us in a General Election has been betrayed.

“The extent to which we’ve been let down. The extent to which we’ve been humiliated.

“Thereafter, of course we’ll talk about policies but, and I have to emphasise this, I will never, ever use that word manifesto.

“I think in most people’s word association manifesto equals lie.”

The comments come as the Brexit Party extended its lead in first place in the latest Opinium poll for the European Parliamentary elections, with 34 percent support – doubling the existing gap to 13 points.

Labour is in second place with 21 percent, the Lib Dems are in third position with 12 percent, having risen five points, and the Tories dropped to just 11 percent support.

A General Election survey by Opinium also shows the Brexit Party just one point behind the Conservatives, with Labour out in front with 28 percent support.

The Conservative Party follows on 22 percent, and the Brexit Party on 21 percent.

Opinium Research carried out an online survey of 2,004 UK adults over 18 years old between May 8 and 10 and results have been weighted.
