Government minister tells Brexiteer Tory MPs to join Nigel Farage's new party

A government minister has accused Tory Brexiteers of 'treachery' and called on them to join Nigel Farage's new anti-EU party. Richard Harrington said members of the hardline European Research Group who celebrated defeating Theresa May's Brexit deal last month were 'not Conservatives' and should quit. The business minister also said he was 'very disappointed' that the Prime Minister was still refusing to rule out the possibility of a no-deal Brexit. nd he dismissed the so-called 'Malthouse Compromise', which Mrs May is considering as a potential way of breaking the Brexit deadlock, as 'fanciful nonsense'.
