Former Tory PM calls on voters to ABANDON Conservatives over Brexit ‘fiction’
Don’t vote Tory: John Major
Former Prime Minister Sir John Major has sensationally called on the public to vote AGAINST the Tories because Boris Johnson’s Brexit is “the worst foreign policy decision in my lifetime”.
Sir John, who led the Conservative Party between 1990 and 1997, is backing rebel candidates standing against Boris Johnson loyalists in a hammer blow for the PM.
He has endorsed three former ministers, who were expelled by Mr Johnson in September, stating: “Let me make one thing absolutely clear: none of them has left the Conservative Party, the Conservative Party has left them.
As reported in the Mirror, he said: “Without such talent on its benches, Parliament will be the poorer, which is why – if I were resident in any one of their constituencies – they would have my vote.”
In a pre-recorded speech ahead of the Stop the Brexit Landslide rally – organised by Final Say campaigners – Sir John [said] old “tribal loyalties” are being loosened by Brexit.
He described Brexit as “the worst foreign policy decision in my lifetime”, saying: “It will affect nearly every single aspect of our lives for many decades to come.
“It will make our country poorer and weaker. It will hurt most those who have least.
“Never have the stakes been higher, especially for the young. Brexit may even break up our historic United Kingdom.
When the nation voted on Brexit they did so on a diet of fiction and undeliverable promises.
“As the facts become known, it is extraordinary that a new vote is denied: extraordinary, and undemocratic.”
