Tory MP calls ‘Stop Brexit’ Bray a ‘scrounger, a malingerer and a parasite’

Conservative MP Lee Anderson has been filmed in a heated exchange with Steve Bray, known as the ‘Stop Brexit’ man for his vocal protests outside Parliament.

The footage shows the MP for Ashfield telling Bray to “get a job”, adding: “You’re nothing but a parasite, a malingerer and a scrounger!”

Mr Bray, who sold a chunk of his coin collection to fund his marathon protest, has vowed to carry on campaigning after Britain formally left the European Union.

He told reporters that the focus will be on how to get back into the EU once the “proverbial sh*it” kicks in.

The grandfather has been so compelled by politicians’ Brexit “lies” that he switched his home in Port Talbot, South Wales, for a London flat on September 5, 2017, to counter the referendum result.

He has heckled politicians on numerous occasions and often targeted the PM, booming ‘Bollocks to Boris” through his megaphone.

Lee Anderson’s office has been contacted for comment.
