[Having described Tommy Robinson as a "high profile" figure who had been "persecuted by the state because of his views".] I think he's a good person … - Gerard Batten

Instead of asking the EU how we may leave we should have been explaining to them how we are going to leave.

Tommy Robinson is not far-right... and does not have far-right views. He is someone who can give some information and research which is useful to me. We have always been a democratic, non-racist party. That has always been in our constitution and that is exactly the way we are going to keep it. It is very odd in this day and age when you get called far-right, when what you have spent the last 25 years trying to do is to return government to our own democratically elected Parliament.

If Parliament does not take Britain out of the European Union it will be the biggest constitutional crisis since the English Civil War. In 1642 the king put himself in opposition to parliament. Parliament won and the king lost his head.
