		</div><p>Nigel Farage has vowed to target Labour heartlands in the UK with his new Brexit Party.</p>
<p>The former Ukip leader was in Westminster to launch another slate of Brexit Party candidates, including Claire Fox, a former member of the Revolutionary Communist Party.</p>
<p>Vowing to campaign in Labour heartlands of south Wales, the Midlands and the north of England, Mr Farage said he had set his sights on Labour voters.</p>
<p>Speaking at a campaign event to announce five new candidates, Mr Farage said the party was already <em>“doing very well”</em> with Conservative supporters.</p>
<p>He said: <em>“There are five million people that voted for Jeremy Corbyn and voted for Brexit as well, and that’s going to be our task.</em></p>
<p><em>“I think we will go on squeezing the Conservatives and squeezing UKIP down to virtually nothing.</em></p>
<p><em>“We’re going to go after that Labour vote in a very big way.”</em></p>
<p>Attacking rival new pro-Remain party Change UK as <em>“Continuity UK”</em>, Mr Farage said his candidates were the ones who would <em>“revolutionise and modernise politics”</em>.</p>
<p>Ms Fox was introduced as a <em>“free speech campaigner”</em> and author, and said she would be <em>“standing in solidarity”</em> with the Leave voters whose voices <em>“have been traduced and trashed”</em>.</p>
<p>James Glancy, a Royal Marine veteran, said he was compelled to stand because he felt politicians were <em>“undermining democracy”</em> and <em>“our leadership is humiliating the British public on the international stage”</em>.</p>
<p>Former charity boss Matthew Patten said he believed the Brexit Party would help the country regain its <em>“confidence in the future”</em>.</p>
<p>Former nurse Christina Jordan claimed Remain-supporting MPs had been blocking Brexit and <em>“hysterical MPs call Brexiteers Nazi appeasers”</em>, adding <em>“they are driving us at a cost of £100 million into European elections and want us to pat them on the back”</em>.</p>
<p>Smoked salmon producer Lance Foreman was the final candidate, who said his past experience as a special adviser for former trade secretary Peter Lilley had shown him only <em>“political obsessives”</em> could be successful in Westminster.</p>
<p>He added: <em>“To be honest, I found the transition from politics to oily fish was quite straightforward.”</em></p>
<p><em>However, Mr Farag</em>e was less enthusiastic when asked what he could personally offer working-class voters, with his private school education and background in stockbroking.</p>
<p><em>“I was never in banking, next question,”</em> he said.</p>
<p>When pressed, he said: <em>“I did have a private school education – you can’t choose your parents, you can’t choose your name.</em></p>
<p><em>“Mine called me Nigel and we’ve got a female candidate with an even more difficult name.</em></p>
<p><em>“The things that unite people across the spectrums, across the classes, across the racial divide, and indeed across the religious divide as well, and it is a belief that nation state democracy is the right way to live your life.”</em></p>
