Adams suggests Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage’s decision not to stand as a candidate for the upcoming general election may hurt his party’s chances of winning. Liberal Democrats have perceived it as Farage allying with Conservatives and have asked PM and Conservative party leader Boris Johnson to confirm whether Farage was offered a particular post in return for not standing.
