UK: Brexit Party (BXP) leader Nigel Farage expected to deliver speech launching
his party's election campaign around 1030-1100GMT (0630-0700ET, 1130-1200CET).
- Significant focus on the nature of the campaign Farage announces, whether
nationwide seeking election in 600+ seats, or a more narrow focus on 20/30
Leave-voting seats held by Remain-supporting Labour MPs. 
- A wider campaign could see the pro-Brexit vote divided in many
Conservative-held seats, placing further pressure on the governing party and
potentially making Brexit less likely should it deny PM Johnson's party a
majority. 
- A narrower BXP campaign could prove more advantageous for the Conservatives.
The BXP are more likely to pick up Leave-supporting Labour voters in northern
England who due to myriad factors would not vote Conservative. Splitting the
Labour vote could allow the Conservatives to come through the middle to win
seats. 
- For the BXP though, a narrower campaign would mean less airtime for party
election broadcasts and limited chance of getting into TV debates.
