UK: General Election Midday Update:
- Brexit Party (BXP) leader Nigel Farage offers prospect of a 'Leave Alliance'
to PM Johnson. Says if he ditches Brexit deal and pursues FTA/WTO Brexit then
they can agree to a 'non-aggression pact'. 
- PM almost certain to say no, pact with BXP would drive away many more
centre-right Conservative voters. This means BXP to stand in 500 seats across
GB, posing major threat to Conservative chances of a majority.
- US Pres. Trump's radio phone-in call with Farage last night caused headaches
for PM, stating that it would be difficult to agree US-UK trade deal under
Johnson's Brexit agreement.
