Nigel Farage attends Brexit Party launch event in Coventry: 'the fightback begins today'

Nigel Farage has said that his new Brexit Party could potentially disrupt the EU’s inner workings if it wins the European Union elections.

During a debate on the Brexit extension earlier this year he goaded EU leaders, asking them whether they really wanted him sitting in the European parliament and ruining everything.

With the Brexit Party riding fairly high in the polls and a contender to come top in the UK, Farage looks certain to return to Strasbourg in the summer with a decent crop of MEPs.
