FORMER Thurrock councillor, Tim Aker has joined Nigel Farage in a new Brexit Party.
Mr Aker is currently an MEP. He is a member of the Europe of Freedom and Direct Democracy (EFDD) group.
Earlier this month, Mr Aker quit as a councillor triggering a by-election.
He joins fellow MEPS, Nathan Gill, David Coburn, Jonathan Bullock, Bill Etheridge and Julia Reid in the new pro-Brexit, eurosceptic political party, formed in 2019 by former UKIP Economic Spokeswoman Catherine Blaiklock.
The new party was officially registered with the Electoral Commission on February 8th.
In launching the party, Nigel Farage, announced he would stand as a candidate for the party in any future European Parliament elections, in the event the UK had not left the EU.
The European elections will take place on May 23rd to 26th, 2019 giving all adult EU citizens the opportunity to select who will represent them in the European Parliament.
In an interview with LBC about the Brexit Party, Mr Farage said: “It’s got my full support.
“It intends to fight the European elections if there is a delay to Article 50, if the can gets kicked down the road.
“There’s a huge appetite out there, and if Labour and the Conservatives think they can just kick this can down the road and not deliver Brexit on March 29 without consequences, they have got another thing coming.”
The Europe of Freedom and Direct Democracy (EFDD)?
Mr Mirage.
You destroyed your old party UKIP. You won the Brexit vote then just after the vote resigned not having a plan on how to deliver it and leaving it upto JDP/May.
You now come up with this with three key words. Europe, Freedom and Direct Democracy.
Why do you care about Europe For. You hate it.
Just don’t do a UKIP and put Tommy Robinson on Public Relations.
Is it wise to get mixed up with the EFDD group some of the parties are far right. and we all know what the likes of Benito Mussolini’s,
Republican Fascist Party did before.
I fear they have made a massive cock up getting mixed up with that lot.
So much so that this will all turn Nationalistic and lead to War. All for what?
It is great to see Nigel Farage forming a new party and well done Tim for joining him. Politics in Britain has disintegrated and we are seeing the population suffer with soft left wing policies.
Time for change and more hard line fairer policies introduced. We need to get out of the EU as fast as possible and start making the UK a decent place, not the lawless, unfair, drug fueled dump it has become.
It is a shame that it wasn’t Parliament that wasn’t discussing Brexit as ‘Maggie May’ only wants one outcome and that is for her plan to be delivered, for me it doesn’t fit the bill and if Farage had been involved Europe would have known the starting point, not like now Maggie has surrendered any advatages she may of had, as for JDP a chocolate firegaurd comes to mind, so why CTB stated her involvement I cannot fathom.
I agree with TGDH that since the Tories have pulled funding we have become a dumping ground, violence and crime and immigration are big issues today, I wish Farage, Aker and co the very best for the future politics needs freshening and I don’t see a better way forward.

I agree JDP/May and gang have cocked up the Exit. I simply said after Mirage resigned not having a plan on how to deliver it was left up to them. Of which they have cocked up with and lost several votes.
“Tories have pulled funding we have become a dumping ground, violence and crime and immigration are big issues today, ”
I agree. Which makes me constantly criticise them on this.
“I don’t see a better way forward.”
I think getting envolved with far-right fascist members in the (EFDD).
Will only lead to authoritarianism and world war.
Left wing soft/wet policies are clearly not working and we are seeing a rise in more right wing policies throughout the world.
It is time to stand up and not put up with what is imposed upon us. We voted Brexit – lets get out. Now lets have a referendum on hard line penalties for the scum that rule our streets and blight our life’s. Then lets get the benefit system sorted and so on and so on.
“Left wing soft/wet policies are clearly not working.”
No we have had right wing politics in this country for 40 years.
“and we are seeing a rise in more right wing policies”
Yeah for 40 years. It ain’t working economically or socially. It is making more and more people angry.
We need a new thing.
“It is time to stand up and not put up with what is imposed upon us.”
Thats why I fight authoritarianism.
“We voted Brexit – lets get out.”
I agree. We voted for it so people should get on with it.
“Now lets have a referendum on hard line penalties for the scum that rule our streets and blight our life’s. Then lets get the benefit system sorted and so on and so on.”
No problem as long as we tackle the Banksters too big to fail too big to jail and have a FAIR System for all.
Poor old Tim Aker must be really suffering having to juggle multiple identities – UKIP, Thurrock Independents and now this new Brexit party.
