Farage spoils for a Brexit brawl with Burnham (opens the original)
Read excerpt
LIVERPOOL, England — Nigel Farage will use a speech in a Brexit-backing Labour heartland to start the fightback after Andy Burnham reignited Britain’s EU debate. The Reform UK leader — a key architect of Brexit — will make a “major speech” in Doncaster on Thursday to rail against the Labour prime minister opening the door to a possible return to the bloc, a senior Reform official told POLITICO.

That’s a long way from the 650 needed to contest every Westminster seat. A nationwide Reform UK roadshow to pluck out more potential candidates begins its sec
