The pro EU newspaper the New European is mockingly calling Farage their secret weapon.

So I would amend Widdecombe's slogan slightly: "vote Brexit Party get Remain."
It cuts both ways.

There are Labour seats the Tories want to capture, but too many Labour voters will refuse to vote Tory, but will vote BXP.
Without the BXP candidate, Labour might win.

I think in the end the BXP will target seats and aim to get 5-10 MPs, without a formal agreement with the Tories.
