JITTERY Tories are braced for mass exodus of supporters to Nigel Farage’s new Brexit Party.
The former Ukip boss says he has a few surprises up his sleeve when he announces the candidates he will field in the Euro elections next month.
Up to 40 Conservative candidates are believed to have applied for membership – and 26 MPs have privately told him they will vote for his party.
Sources say possible high-profile joiners include a TV star, well-known charity figures and politicians from the mainstream parties.
Mr Farage, who has bet £1,000 on his party winning most seats in the European Parliament, said: “After the last three years, many Conservative MPs, councillors and, indeed members, are asking what is the point of their party.”
