Why the Brexit Party won’t stand down in Hull West and Hessle

From our UK edition

'If I had £1 for every lie someone told about me/us, I could have retired 10 mins into this campaign.' I wrote this on 2 December after yet another – how shall I put this – ‘falsity’ was said about me and the Brexit party, who I am standing for in Kingston upon Hull West and Hessle. Nonsense being spread about me during this election campaign was something I’d expected. Abuse, too (standing in the 2017 election as an independent had been an education – this time around, I brought my hard hat). It didn’t even surprise me when, after installing one of my first promotional boards, (very proud I was of it too), it was attacked after a few hours and completely destroyed in less than two days. Alas, it seems that I missed a trick.
