NIGEL Farage has torn into Jeremy Corbyn’s Brexit policy of “Remain or Remain” as he launches the Brexit Party’s election battle.

The Brexiteer leader blasted Labour's "betrayal" of Leave voters and gave Boris Johnson two months to drop his deal or he would fight the Tories with 500 candidates.

'A BETRAYAL'

He said: "For the 5million Labour voters who turned out in the 2016 referendum and voted to leave this represents nothing less than a complete and utter betrayal."

Mr Farage added that Mr Corbyn’s Brexit policy is for the Remainer elite in London and not for the rest of the UK.

Labour's stated position is to delay Brexit further to try to negotiate a new deal, and then hold a referendum for which some members of the shadow cabinet would campaign for Remain.

The Brexiteer leader said that it represents "Dalston not Doncaster" and added that the Brexit Party poses a very major problem for Labour.

Boris tells us it's a great new deal, it is not. It's a bad treaty. Simply, it is not Brexit.

Mr Farage told the PM to ditch his "appalling" deal and join him a "Leave Alliance" or face a Brexit Party candidate in hundreds of seats.

He warned: "Boris tells us it's a great new deal, it is not. It's a bad treaty. Simply, it is not Brexit.

"Boris' deal gives us all of the burdens of EU membership but no say whatsoever."

NIGE'S ELECTION PLANS

Mr Farage's scathing speech will raise concerns in both Labour and Tory HQs this morning.

The Brexit Party boss attacked Mr Corbyn over his Brexit stance and warned that he would coming after his Labour Brexit seats and planned to campaign in the east Midlands, the north east, and south Wales next week.

He told reporters that the Brexit Party "poses a very major problem to Labour" and those areas will be his key targets.

Last week senior Brexiteer Tories called on Mr Farage to step aside and let Mr Johnson have a clear run at Leave-leaning areas.

I hope common sense prevails. We are prepared, all of us, to put country before party and we put that appeal out to Boris Johnson.

However, any hopes of that happening appear remote – with Mr Farage saying his party are more than equipped to fight a far reaching campaign.

He told the PM and Brexiteer Labour MPs to back a Leave Alliance to see off Mr Corbyn and the Lib Dems.

Mr Farage said: "We have enough money for a fully funded election campaign.

“The real deal is a Leave alliance which wins a big majority in Parliament.

"I hope common sense prevails. We are prepared, all of us, to put country before party and we put that appeal out to Boris Johnson.

"But, if they choose not to, we will stand up and do this on our own."

WILL HE STAND?

Mr Farage refused to rule out whether he would be standing as an MP in the election and said his own plans would be a "massive distraction" from his quest to broker a Leave Alliance.

He told reporters: "We're going to announce all of that in the next few days."

Earlier this week Mr Farage faced calls from his own party to be “sensible” and put candidates in only 20 seats.

Mr Farage has called on Boris Johnson to form a pact for December’s vote, with Brexit Party chiefs suggesting they could deliver a “thundering majority”.

However, the PM has been keen to distance himself from a deal – with No10 playing down the idea.

'UNSTOPPABLE FORCE'

Yesterday Donald Trump waded into the debate during an interview with Mr Farage on LBC.

The US President urged Mr Johnson to join forces with the Brexit Party boss and described the two party leaders as a potentially “unstoppable force”.

Mr Trump blasted Mr Corbyn and said he would take the UK to “such bad places”.

Trump said: "I have great relationships with many of the leaders, including Boris who's a fantastic man – I think he's the exact right guy for the times.

"I know that you and him will end up doing something that could be terrific – if you and he get together it's [an] unstoppable force.

"Corbyn would be so bad for your country, he'd be so bad, he'd take you in such a bad way.

"He'd take you into such bad places. But your country has tremendous potential, it's a great country."
