Farage's Brexit Party set to win EU election - BBC projection

Nigel Farage's Brexit Party was set to sweep to victory in the European election, with Theresa May's Conservatives trailing and due to win around 10% of the vote, according to a BBC projection on Sunday.

The BBC forecast that the Brexit Party would top the polls, with the pro-EU Liberal Democrats set to come second. May's ruling Conservatives were forecast to get between 10 and 12% of the vote, down from 24% in 2014.
