The leader of the Brexit Party, Nigel Farage, has said he’s hoping for heavy rain tomorrow – to put off Labour supporters from going out to vote.

His party chose not to stand candidates in Tory-held seats – but Mr Farage warned that the UK could be back in crisis if Boris Johnson won a majority and extended the Brexit process.
