UK election: Nigel Farage says Boris Johnson has 48 hours to persuade him he wants "clean" Brexit

Description

Eurosceptic Nigel Farage, head of the Brexit Pary, says fellow Brexit champion and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has 48 hours to persuade him that he "genuinely wants a clean Brexit" ahead of Thursday's general election. Farage has struggled to compete against Johnson, who warned against splitting the Leave vote. To prevent that from happening, Farage withdrew Brexit Party candidates in hundreds of seats in the run-up to the election. SOUNDBITE
