Remainers can say what they like, but the fact is that the NHS is now getting over £350m extra funding a week. Would this have happened now without the Leave campaign's pledge and Boris's constant lobbying within government? Not likely.

Anyone hoping Brexit Party success is going to change the EU will be disappointed - but that's precisely the point of the EU anyway. Democracy is just a sideshow that's tolerated as long as it doesn't interfere with the EU's core project. Me for @Telegraph

The Brexit Party’s looming success will expose the EU’s own contradictions

It was the election that was never meant to be held, the party that was never meant to exist, the comeback that was never meant to happen.
