A SCOTTISH Brexit Party rally hosted by Nigel Farage next month has been cancelled over "time constraints".
The event, due to be hosted by party leader Farage, was planned for Dundee's Caird Hall on September 12.
Now, a listing for the event has been removed from the Brexit Party’s website and is no longer a searchable listing on Eventbrite’s website.
A Brexit Party spokesman confirmed the cancellation to the city's Evening Telegraph.
He said: “Due to time constraints, the Dundee rally has unfortunately been cancelled.
“We are preparing for a general election and have trimmed down the Brexit Party tour.”
It is understood that the event has also been cancelled at several other locations across the UK.
Those who have bought tickets for the event will be refunded.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
