Nigel Farage announced a “Brexit Betrayal” march and the reactions are everything – our 15 favourites
With the slight possibility of a delay to the UK leaving the EU having been mooted by Theresa May, and Labour now backing a second referendum, Nigel Farage’s hackles have risen – along with his urge to draw attention to himself. In a cringe-worthy video, he – and some right-wing chums – announced his plan for an event to get his message across to the people – the message being “Look at me and give me money.”, presumably.
We're marching from Sunderland to London to tell the Westminster elite we will not be betrayed over Brexit. Get your walking boots on! https://t.co/td1RFpbtwQ

Don't forget to pop by Swindon on your way down. Then you can explain how being unemployed is actually in the best interests of those who are losing their jobs. https://t.co/B9jspm6zAc
