The full video of the launch of the Grassroots Out initiative is now available (above) for those who were unable to attend at the launch in Kettering yesterday.
The day’s events included speeches from UK Independence Party leader Nigel Farage, Tory MPs Peter Bone, Philip Hollobone, Dr. Liam Fox, and Tom Pursglove, Labour’s Kate Hoey, and the DUP’s Sammy Wilson.
You can see our exclusive pictures from the event, here.
Below are some highlights from the event, as reported by me, live on Twitter:
