Brexiteer Tories in the European Research Group (ERG) have discussed the possibility of an electoral pact with Nigel Farage, The Daily Telegraph has learnt.
It is understood “very tentative” discussions have taken place between the Brexit Party leader and so-called “spartans” amid fears the Conservatives will not secure a big enough majority at a snap election to deliver a clean Brexit.
However, Tory leavers fear Dominic Cummings, Boris Johnson’s chief strategist, will block any pact because as director of Vote Leave, he refused to join forces with Mr Farage and Arron Banks, his businessman backer and co-founder of Leave.EU, in 2016. DT.
