THE BATTLE OF BREXIT: TOMMY ROBINSON AND UKIP PROTEST, BORIS JOHNSON DENIES ATTEMPT TO REPLACE THERESA MAY


In London today a large crowd marched into the government section of London, Whitehall, in opposition to Theresa May's "Brexit betrayal".   Union Jacks were waving in the crowd.

The "Brexit Means Exit" rally was held after the march led by a banner reading:

BREXIT MEANS EXIT-DUMP THE DEAL-LEAVE NOW


Activist Tommy Robinson and the United Kingdom Independence Party were behind the only mass public demonstration being held ahead of Tuesday's vote on Prime Minister Theresa May's Brexit plan.

Videos were posted on Tommy Robinson's Facebook page......LINK

Meanwhile a prominent critic of May's Brexit plan, former Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson, says he isn't interested in the Prime Minister resigning and being replaced if her Brexit plan is rejected when the parliamentary vote happens Tuesday evening.

Johnson says that May needs to go back to the negotiating table with the EU to get a better deal.

Another aspect of the story is the "man without a party".

"Mr. Brexit" Nigel Farage left as leader of UKIP right after the referendum feeling the strain and stress of two decades plus of political leadership.  He stayed on as a Member of the European Parliament for UKIP but recently left the party over its change in direction under new leader Gerard Batten.

Farage has been on the speaking circuit and has media exposure through Fox News and Fox Business in the USA, plus his LBC radio show in the UK.

He tweeted over the weekend about a new pro-Brexit political party.

But as to current situation on his Sunday radio show today (December 9th), Farage called for Theresa May to go as  Prime Minister after Tuesday's vote and for her replacement by a person who really believes in Brexit.
