The Brexit Party leader’s comments follow a dramatic day in Westminster which saw the Queen approve Mr Johnson’s plan to prorogue Parliament. The controversial mechanism means the Prime Minister will temporarily close down the Commons from the second week of September until October 14, when there will be a Queen’s Speech to open a new session of Parliament. The move has angered Remainers and according to Mr Farage the move has made a vote of confidence in the Government more likely and therefore a general election.
The Brexit Party leader has challenged Mr Johnson not to sign up to Theresa May’s deal at the 11th hour and warned if he does his grassroots Eurosceptic party will “fight him every inch of the way”.
The Brexit Party has transformed British politics since its inception earlier this year and caused a huge stir at the European Elections – winning 29 seats in the European Parliament.
Mr Farage’s party took 31.6 percent of the vote and reduced the Tories down to just four MEPs.
Mr Farage wrote on Twitter: “The Government’s announcement today makes a confidence motion now certain, a general election more likely and is seen as a positive move by Brexiteers.
“The unanswered question is whether Boris Johnson intends to pursue the Withdrawal Agreement.”
He added: “If he does, then The Brexit Party will fight him every inch of the way.”
However the leading Brexiteer insists he is willing to work together with Mr Johnson in an election if he delivers a “clean break” from the bloc on October 31.
Mr Farage added: “But if he now wants a clean break Brexit then we would like to help him secure a large majority in a general election.”

Former attorney general Dominic Grieve has thrown the Tory majority into major doubt after indicating he would be prepared to vote against the Government in a vote of confidence to stop a no deal Brexit.
Mr Grieve described the proroguing of parliament as a “reckless act”.
He said: “I have always made clear that I want to stop a no-deal Brexit. I will take staged, graded measures to do it.
“I would wish if at all possible to avoid bringing down a Conservative government on a vote of no confidence but if that is what is ultimately took I would be willing to do it.”
Several other prominent figures on the Conservative benches were quick to express their deep concern about the approach Mr Johnson was taking.
Former chancellor Philip Hammond said: “It would be a constitutional outrage if Parliament were prevented from holding the Government to account at a time of national crisis. Profoundly undemocratic.”
Ex-justice secretary David Gauke said it was a “a dangerous precedent”.
However the Prime Minister was given a major boost after the DUP which prop-up the Government in parliament, through a confidence and supply agreement, said Mr Johnson is “well within his rights” to suspend parliament.
The Prime Minister hit back at any criticism and said it was “completely untrue” to suggest that Brexit was the reason for his decision, insisting that he needed a Queen’s Speech to set out a “very exciting agenda” of domestic policy.
Mr Johnson also denied the move was to pave the way for an early general election.
In a message to MPs who have condemned the move, Mr Johnson insisted there would be “ample time” for parliamentarians to debate Brexit either side of a crunch EU summit on October 17.
