Brexit: Huw Merriman MP dares Theresa May to sack him in bombshell interview

A Tory MP has publicly dared Theresa May to sack him from his government role in a bombshell interview over Brexit . Huw Merriman - who is an aide to the Chancellor - announced he will speak at a rally in support of a second referendum at lunchtime today in Westminster. And he warned Tory chiefs will have to sack him from the government if they don't like it. The Parliamentary Private Secretary said he had backed a so-called People's Vote in a 'free vote' last week - only to be told it was not government policy. He told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: 'If I can’t speak freely and explain how I voted on a free vote...I didn’t give up my career to come into Parliament for that - it’s absolutely ridiculous.
