Nigel Farage says he will stand as a candidate for the anti-immigration Reform UK party at the UK general election next month, after initially ruling out running. "I have changed my mind... I am going to stand," Farage, 60, told a news conference. Farage, a Eurosceptic politician and now a television presenter, campaigned for decades for Britain's withdrawal from the European Union and was a key figure in the 2016 Brexit referendum. He is a former leader of the Brexit Party and the anti-immigration party UKIP. SOUNDBITE

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
