Nigel Farage insists Boris Johnson WON’T deliver Brexit and vows to hit back against new PM
NIGEL Farage today insisted Boris Johnson will fail in his mission to "put him back in his box".
The Brexit Party boss dismissed the likely next PM as a phoney who sold out Leave voters by backing Theresa May's deal.
And he also threatened to take millions of voters off Labour after Jeremy Corbyn's Brexit U-turn.
Mr Farage : "Boris says he wants to put me back in my box. So if he wants a fight - hold my jacket."
He warned the Tories have no "divine right" to the support of Leave voters and blasted their "arrogance and aggression".
And he mocked Mr Johnson for voting for the EU withdrawal agreement at the third time of asking.
Mr Farage blasted: "We’ve got two contenders, ‘Hard Man Hunt’ versus ‘Brexit Boris’. Which Boris is it? Is it the Boris who voted no twice or the Boris who voted yes once?
"This is the chap who voted for the withdrawal agreement. The Tories have had a three point bounce in the polls, with it already written in that Boris wins. It is not a very big bounce is it?"
The Brexit Party boss insisted that if we're still in the EU after October 31, he will pick up more votes from furious Brits.

And he claimed Tory donors were prepared to jump ship if the new PM doesn't deliver Brexit on time.
Mr Johnson, frontrunner in the Conservative leadership race, has vowed to wipe out the Brexit Party.
He says he'll take Britain out of the EU by Halloween, with or without a deal, and destroy Mr Farage's main argument.
