Rarely have I seen Nigel Farage look so drained, grey and subdued as he did when announcing today in Hartlepool that he was standing down a chunk of his army.
His Brexit Party will not be contesting any of the 317 seats the Conservatives won in the general election.

Yes, in strategic terms this informal Leave Alliance is probably for the best.

"The single most important thing in our country now is to not let a second referendum happen" @Nigel_Farage

"We have put country before party and we will now take the fight to Labour" @brexitparty_uk

"We have formed a #LeaveAlliance – albeit a unilateral one"

— Martin Daubney MEP ➡️ (@MartinDaubney) November 11, 2019

Having fought for Brexit for three decades, Farage understandably doesn’t want to blow it now by splitting the Leave vote and placing Britain’s future in the hands of an unholy alliance of greens, Marxists, dripping wet liberals and Remoaner hold outs.

Nigel Farage is putting ego before country and destroying Brexit.

This is the narrative being assiduously promoted by the Conservative party — including by Farage’s most natural sympathisers on the right. (It is, as Melanie Philips says, a blue-on-blue onslaught.)

.@Jacob_Rees_Mogg says that Nigel Farage "should be really proud of his political career, and it would be a great shame if he carries on fighting after he has already won to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory." pic.twitter.com/s7uhZ7pHWa

But let’s not forget it is a narrative. Britain is now in the midst of a short but definitely not sweet general election campaign in which every party, every candidate, will happily sell their grandmothers into slavery if it grabs them a few extra votes.

British politics just got exciting again.

There was a boring interlude yesterday — lasting all of about ten minutes — when it seemed that after five or so years of Brexit high drama, the British political scene had once more become reassuringly dull.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson — finally — had got his general election; many of parliament’s wreckers and loonies — led by Speaker John Bercow — had disappeared into the sunset; now all that remained was for the Conservatives to win with a whopping majority, kick Jeremy Corbyn and his rabid Marxists into the dustbin of history, deliver Brexit and leave all of us to live happily ever after.

So Britain won’t, after all, be getting Brexit by Hallowe’en, do or die.

This ought, in theory, to be a fatal blow to Prime Minister Boris Johnson: did he not stake his credibility on delivering Brexit by October 31?

But politics, as we should all have realised by now, isn’t about reality. It’s about perception. The perception of the voting public — so the opinion polls tell us — is that Boris is not to blame for the recent run of Brexit delays. On the contrary, the more meddling and procrastination and cheating there has been by the Remainer Establishment, the more Boris’s stock has soared.

Here is how James Forsyth and Katy Balls put it in the Spectator:

Yet far from being politically dead, Boris Johnson finds himself in a stronger position than he was on the day he became Prime Minister. The Brexit deal he has struck with the EU has changed everything. It not only garnered the support of a majority of MPs at its second reading, but more importantly it is a deal that Leavers broadly welcome. Every Tory Brexiteer in the Commons voted for it, every cabinet minister is fully signed up to it; and initial polling suggests that the general public back it too — more say that they support the deal than oppose it. Suddenly the Tories are occupying the common ground of British politics.

‘Scientists’ have ‘proved’ that Brexit voters are genetically inferior to Remain voters.

Scientists “prove” that Brexit voters are genetically inferior to Remain voters!

In other Remainer #FakeNews, a ‘leading professor’ has claimed that Shakespeare would have been a Remainer.

William Shakespeare would have been a Remainer, according to a leading professor.@NickFerrariLBC | #Brexithttps://t.co/y1g7fn9CvC

— LBC (@LBC) October 22, 2019

How so? Well apparently — according to this character, René Weis, a Professor of English at UCL — it’s because Shakespeare was ‘open-minded.’ Just like Remainers are. lol.

Finally, Britain stands on the brink of Brexit victory.

No, I don’t mean Boris Johnson’s new deal, which may or may not prevail.

I mean that the British people’s fury with the shenanigans of the liberal elite has reached such a pitch that nothing — neither the police nor our rule-makers nor our bent, parti-pris judiciary — is capable of stopping us prevailing in the end.

For evidence, look no further than the glorious scenes at Canning Town Station in East London this week, when a sickly-looking pair of Extinction Rebellion milquetoasts were yanked from on top of a Tube train carriage by angry commuters and told exactly where they could shove their green revolution.

Apparently there’s been a breakthrough in the Brexit talks…

BREAKING: two senior EU sources say the main stumbling block to a deal has been removed with the DUP accepting the latest proposals on consent… Optimism a deal can now be done…

— Tony Connelly (@tconnellyRTE) October 16, 2019

'EU sources' are talking nonsense. Discussions continue. Needs to be a sensible deal which unionists and nationalists can support. https://t.co/CpugVBfyBZ

— Arlene Foster (@DUPleader) October 16, 2019

I’d say that till any deal is done and dusted there’s almost no point in discussing the latest Brexit shenanigans, let alone in attempting to make any predictions of what will happen next.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel has just gifted the United Kingdom a No Deal Brexit. (Thank you, Mutti!)

Heaven knows whether this is what Merkel intended to do when she let it be known that a Brexit deal is ‘overwhelmingly unlikely’.

But this, surely, will be the net effect of her intransigence.

If Merkel has removed a ‘deal’ from the table, then it follows logically that the only remaining option is ‘No Deal.’

I’ve seen ‘experts’ on social media – usually ones of a Remainer-ish persuasion – describing this as a ‘catastrophic failure of diplomacy.’

I disagree. It looks much more to me like a case of ‘Everything going according to plan.’ At least it is, if like me, you want real, meaningful Brexit to happen.

Apart from their ongoing difficulties delivering Brexit, by far the biggest worry about Boris Johnson’s Conservatives is their craven subservience to the green sky fairy.

I’ve just been watching one of their panel discussions on energy and environment, broadcast from the Tory conference in Manchester, and it made me feel quite ill.

Even MPs that you know are secretly sound on green issues and know the whole climate change scam to be hogwash have to go through the motions of pretending that Net Zero — decarbonising the UK economy by 2050 — is a practical, achievable and conservative policy. And it is, of course, none of those things.
