Nigel farage has said his brexit party will contest every seat in england, wales and scotland in next months election, unless borisjohnson drops his deal with the eu and signs up to a leave alliance. Mr farage said the Prime Ministers Withdrawal Agreement with the eu is simply not brexit. the brexit party say they have 500 candidates ready to fight the election. The conservatives have responded by saying a vote for nigel farage risks letting Jeremy Corbyn into downing street by the back door. 0ur Political Correspondent Jonathan Blake reports. Thumbs up for brexit thats always been his message, but nigel farage launched his partys Election Campaign this morning with a warning that it hasnt happened yet and, unless things change, it might well not. It is november the ist and, yes, still we are members of the European Union. Yet more broken promises and indeed a breakdown of trust and faith, notjust in politics but actually in our entire democratic system in this country. The party, he said, was ready to take on labour and the tories and make the case for what he calls a clean break brexit. First, though an appeal to work with, not against, the other main parties. The only way to solve this is to build a leave alliance across this country. That doesnt mean just conservatives and the brexit party. There are labour figures out there that i have spoken to who would more than happily stand in this election if we could put this coalition together. But if it was done, borisjohnson would win a very big majority. And on that manifesto, we really could get brexit done, in fact, to quote a friend of mine, wed become an unstoppable force. Nigel farage said the brexit party was ready to stand in every seat in england, scotland and wales, if Boris Johnson didnt ditch his brexit deal and the form a leave alliance. The chances of that seem slim. Were not interested in doing any pacts with the brexit party, or indeed with anybody else. We are in this to win it, and we know that only a vote for the conservative party will deliver brexit, only a vote will protect the union so we dont have two referendums next year, causing the end of brexit and potentially the end of the union, and ultimately it is only a vote for borisjohnson that will stop Jeremy Corbyn walking up downing street on friday the 13th december. The brexit partys top targets would be labour held constituencies that voted to leave, but labour is focusing on its own offer, with something, it claims, for everyone. To the country as a whole, what were saying is, whether youre remain or leave, there is a route through for you by voting labour. For the other parties, its one side or the other, its very divisive, and one of the things we want to do is try to reunify quite an angry country. I think this is the way forward, but theres much more than brexit on the agenda, as you know, in this election, and im sure we will begin to move on to some of the other debates about the nhs, jobs, poverty, and all the other problems which the coutry faces. Support for the brexit party is easy to find in places like thurrock in essex, which voted overwhelmingly to leave. But the challenge for nigel farage will be turning that into electoral success. Ijust think there is something about the man, he says hes going to do something, he generally goes out and does it, do you know what i mean . Hopefully, it will do. I mean, we should have been out yesterday and now were still in. Everyone i talk to, near where i live, they are all going to go for the brexit, because they think tory government done wrong by not passing it through and to have another election, why . I dont see any discussion happening now, i see rowing, and i see lots of turbulence, and i see plenty of people in dire straits, and i see some bad times coming for this country at the moment. Brexit wont be the only issue on which voters make up their minds, but so far it seems set to dominate the campaign. 0ur Political Correspondent helen catt is in. Last night, nigel farage spoke to president trump, how likely is a beer . The conservatives have been pretty consistently declaring talk of some sort of formal pact with the brexit party has been suggested they are just not a market for that. I think as nigel farage makes this offer today he would be where its very unlikely that the conservatives are going to go for that. Particularly as the price is borisjohnson abandoning that deal that he has been already trying to sell to militaries did and 50 candidates and thatis militaries did and 50 candidates and that is a tall order for a party that is a tall order for a party thatis that is a tall order for a party that is only a few months old. He says he has got 500 candidates signed up and ready to go and he says on monday of course he will be buoyed by the results that they have got in the european elections earlier this year. Of course as he had seen in the past, a good performance does not necessarily translate into success here at westminster. The next question obviously is where does this leave the tories . Because being outflanked bya the tories . Because being outflanked by a hard line view of brexit or the right wing will be tricky for them. It does make thatjob of going out and setting borisjohnsons brexit perhaps a bit harder. It does in unconnected ability of the risk that the leave of oats will be spent. The conservatives are very keen to say they dispute this idea that there is is not a brexit. They say they are leaving the Customs Union on their Boris Johnsons leaving the Customs Union on their borisjohnsons deal which leaving the Customs Union on their Boris Johnsons deal which means leaving the Customs Union on their borisjohnsons deal which means you are able to do trade deals but that big risk for them is that there is this split into votes between Boris Johnsons conservatives and Nigel Farages brexit party and that channels other parties to the metre in seats that they expected to be held. Who said the us could not do a free trade deal with the uk because of certain aspects of the Prime Ministers brexit deal. With me to look into this in more detail is our reality check correspondent, chris morris. So chris, a lot of this is about what get brexit done actually means, isnt it . A lot of this is framed about what brexit actually means in a way, we will hear this phrase that brexit done a lot in the next few weeks and is going to be a lot of debate about what it means. It is worth remembering that we started out more than three years ago, the question on the ballot paper at the referendum should the uk remain a member of the eu or should it leave the eu . Member of the eu or should it leave the eu 7 thats member of the eu or should it leave the eu . Thats the only thing we we re the eu . Thats the only thing we were asked. It is. We went and told what leave it looks like thats the battle now, not about how we view but about where we end up and particularly that means that trade. If you are going to diverge or move away from the European Economic model and the European Economic orbit, the only place you can really go realistically, there are other deals around the world but in terms ofa deals around the world but in terms of a big place to anchor yourself, its going to be the United States. And i think for donald trump, a melody of brexit its no accident he made these comments while talking to at fries on radio and a melody of brexit would have the effect of moving the uk more abruptly into the american orbits because it would move in the uk more abruptly away from the european one. And yet obviously there are forces on the other end of the argument to say this is already too hard a brexit. And we know this document here came out earlier this year, we know some of the things the United States wa nts of the things the United States wants from a future trade the only United Kingdom. They put their specific objectives. 0ne United Kingdom. They put their specific objectives. One of the things it says is we want to obtain more open and equitable access for agricultural projects and another thing it says it later on if we want full Market Access for us products in pharmaceuticals and medical devices. Still, they want to move in and break up what they see is a monopoly of the nhs. The government can say no we will protect the nhs but that will be one of the objectives of the United States. I think from mr objectives of the United States. I thinkfrom mrtrump, objectives of the United States. I think from mr trump, the due care in Boris Johnsons think from mr trump, the due care in borisjohnsons dear think from mr trump, the due care in Boris Johnsons dear i think from mr trump, the due care in borisjohnsons dear i suspect is something he had not actually read but it looks to him like something which continues to bind the uk into that european model. Even though the language on what are called a level Playing Field provisions, the way you stick close to rules on workers rights an Environment Protection that language is being moved in mr johnsons version of the video from the legal binding agreement to the nonbinding political declaration but it is complex. The compromise of a Northern Ireland makes it even more complex. I think mr trump is wrong when he said he cant do a trade in in the future because under the johnson beer the whole of the uk including Northern Ireland would be leaving the eu Customs Union but the idea that this would be a simple, clea n b rea k idea that this would be a simple, clean break is simply not the case. What do you make of the other thing that mr trump what do you make of the other thing that mrtrump said what do you make of the other thing that mr trump said that the uk cant do much bigger numbers with a free deal barely be less than it is doing in terms of trade that the eu. 0bviously he had in the past that leaving the European Union would be like losing an anchor around the ankle but this idea that there are bigger numbers, bigger games to be met . No. Essentially its certainly not enough yet foreseeable future. The amount of trade we do with the European Union cannot be replaced in the short term by free trade deal with the United States. It is at the moment of a lemming many of our largest trading partner. It is true that as a proportion of oui it is true that as a proportion of our entire trade has been going down over the last few years. New market, they are becoming more important. The idea that somehow a free trade deal with the United States. It is at the moment overwhelmingly our largest trading partner. It is true that as a proportion of our entire trade has been going down over the last few years. Newmarket, they are becoming more important. The idea that somehow a free trade unit the United States could replace all that trade we do with our nearest neighbours is not up to scrutiny. The snp leader Nicola Sturgeon has said shell make a formal request before christmas for a second independence referendum. 0ur scotland correspondent james shaw has been explaining the significance of the move. It was very clear that she will ask for that formal authorisation, to hold a second independence referendum, before christmas. Almost an early Christmas Present for whoever is the next Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Whats the significance of it . Well, i suppose it shows that the snp are still determined to go for independence. They want to hold a referendum, if they can, next year. And that is part of their election pitch. It is 2 pronged, really. 0n the one hand, it appeals to the main voters, people who dont want the United Kingdom to leave the European Union, and it intends to appeal to people in favour of independence as well, to hoover up all those voters in scotland, if the snp possibly can. So, heres a little bit of what Nicola Sturgeon said, earlier this morning. Oh, ive made pretty clear, and im sticking to this, that section 30 demand will be delivered to downing street, whoever happens to be in it, before christmas. And that is because it is vital that scotland takes control of our own future. Right now, our future is being dictated by borisjohnson, who himself, is enthralled to donald trump. Thats not the future i think the majority of people in scotland want. We can have a better future, by being independent and thats one of the big issues thats on the line at this election. Now, Nicola Sturgeon also talked to this issue of the post brexit trade deal between the United States and britain. She said she was concerned about that, whatever donald trump says now, about the nhs not being on the table, she believes it will and she also said she thought there would be a risk to environmental and food standards, and also to workers rights. Those are the kind of issues that the snp will be stressing, through this campaign.

Mps on the Business Select Committee say its disgraceful that some customers whove been the victims of fires have been made to sign non disclosure agreements to get compensation from the company. Our personal finance correspondent Simon Gompertz reports. Ive got some washing for you. Caught up in the four year process so far of whirlpool sorting out its danger dryers, steviejo from west london battled to get hers replaced then found even the replacement was one of the models at risk of catching fire. Its scary to think that theyve taken so long to sort this problem out. Eventually, after hounding them, i received a free of charge replacement. I checked online to make sure that it wasnt on the recall list, after all the hassle that id had. Lo and behold, it was on the recall list. This has been the fear a spate of fires like one in londons shepherds bush, blamed on faulty dryers. The brands affected include hotpoint, indesit and swan. The Company Revealed to mps in the summer that up to 800,000 could still be in use. So i apologise to you. In their evidence, whirlpool said sorry to one customer theyd made sign a nondisclosure agreement, attempting to silence her in exchange for getting compensation. When it came to adding up the cost of everything, i felt like a criminal, like i were being questioned. Gemma had had to get her baby and toddler out of the house when her dryer caught light. As i opened the door and saw the flames, i had to grab him and get out, and i had to get my son to help me grab my daughter out. I think it is absolutely appalling that whirlpool not only was responsible for fires in peoples homes but then tried to stop them from speaking about it, because we all know that the most powerful thing in terms of getting those machines out of homes is others speaking about their experience, that is what encourages people to check their own machine. Whirlpool told us, we have resolved this potential safety issue which concerns tumble dryers produced by the previous owner of the company for more than 1. 75 million people. Their factory near bristol is producing a new dryer every ten seconds to provide the safer replacements its now obliged to offer. Thats under the terms of the full product recall which the government imposed three months ago. Simon gompertz, bbc news.
