The Brexit party are on course to win, with eight constituency results out of 11 in so far as the two main parties suffer a backlash from voters over their respective Brexit policies. Current state of the parties: Brexit 21 seats; Lib Dems 10; Labour 7; Green 5; Conservative 2; Plaid Cymru 1. Emily Thornberry, shadow foreign secretary, has criticised Labour’s election strategy for not having a clear enough message and has said the party should campaign to remain in the EU, echoing an earlier warning from deputy leader Tom Watson. Alistair Campbell and Michael Heseltine, Labour and Tory grandees, both voted for the pro-EU Liberal Democrats, who appear to be tonight’s surprise package, surging across England. The Tories are currently being beaten into a fifth place, with the scale of their defeat demonstrating the challenges facing Theresa May’s successor. Foreign Secretary and leadership hopeful Jeremy Hunt said it was a “painful result” and there is an “existential risk to our party unless we now come together and get Brexit done”. The Green party has increased its number of MEP’s in its most impressive European election to date, in step with growing support for environmentalist parties across the European Union. In London, the Lib Dems came top with three MEPs, Labour and the Brexit Party each won two and the Greens picked up one seat - in 2014 Labour won four, the Tories two and Greens and Ukip one each. Ukip have been wiped out across the country, with party leader Gerard Batten losing his seat after a series of earlier resignations dented the party’s cohort in Brussels.

Nigel Farage, the leader of Britain's Brexit Party, has lambasted Prince Harry and his American wife Meghan along with other members of the royal family in a speech in Australia, the Guardian newspaper reported on Monday.
According to the Guardian, Farage ridiculed Harry's remarks last month that the couple only wanted two children because of the environmental impact, while he also described the Queen Mother, the late mother of the monarch, as an "slightly overweight, chain-smoking gin drinker".
Despite having repeatedly failed to be elected to Britain's parliament, Farage has over the last decade become one of the most prominent political figures in the country, first as leader of UKIP and now head of the Brexit Party, which came out on top in the UK in May's European Parliament elections.

Baying crowds, blaring music, glossily produced videos and a catchy new US-style slogan. Yup, Nigel Farage’s Brexit Party are back after a quiet summer and they’re cranking up the volume. Boris Johnson has stolen the party’s togs since their triumph in the EU elections in May. With No Deal back on the table, the new PM has got Eurosceptic Tories buzzing again. The Brexit Party balloon has been popped. The Farage fox wounded.

Boris Johnson will not make an election pact with Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage, Downing Street has said. Mr Farage said his party and the Conservatives should make a deal and "together we would be unstoppable". Two newspaper adverts set out his offer to help "secure a big Brexit majority" and to "destroy Corbyn's Labour". But a senior Conservative source said Mr Farage was "not a fit and proper person" and "should never be allowed anywhere near government". Mr Farage tweeted the remarks "look like comments from deep inside the bunker", adding: "I do not want a job in government. I just want to put country before party and deliver a clean break Brexit."
