BREXIT figurehead Nigel Farage will visit Newport next week to hold a rally for his new party.

Mr Farage will speak at the Brexit Party rally at The Neon in Clarence Place on Tuesday, April 30, along with former Tory minister Anne Widdecombe, who is standing as a candidate for the party in next month's European Parliament election, assuming it goes ahead.

The Brexit Party was formed earlier this year with the specific goal of fulfilling the result of the 2016 referendum. Its membership is largely made up of former Ukip members, including Mr Farage, who left following concerns the party was moving to the far right.

The party's four candidates for the election are Nathan Gill, who is already one of Wales' four MEPs, having first been elected for Ukip, James Wells, Gethin James and Julie Price.
