The Brexit commentator and activist said Parliament is “unapologetically anti-Brexit” as Remain MPs voted in a law which forces Boris Johnson to request a three-month extension to Article 50 if he doesn’t have a deal by October 19. Mr Grimes went on to highlight the “audacity of people” for saying they are democratic but campaigning against the 2016 referendum. His comments come as former Tory MPs David Gauke and Dominic Grieve attended the Tory Party Conference in Manchester despite voting against a parliamentary recess to allow the Government to attend.

Mr Grimes told Express.co.uk: “I don’t think it’s down to the Prime Minsiter’s lack of will to get us out of the EU, I think he is entirely committed to that as someone who campaigned with heart and soul to get us out of the EU.

“I reckon that he has been taken hostage by a Parliament which is so unapologetically anti-Brexit against what was the biggest democratic mandate in British electoral history.

“The biggest vote on anything in our history. I think that is terribly shameful.

“We’ve got David Gauke and Dominic Grieve at this conference despite voting against a recess to come to conference.

“The audacity of these people who at one moment say that they’re democrats and the next moment do all they can to stand in the way in the biggest democratic mandate this country has ever seen.

“I think it is totally outrageous.”

His comments come as Dominic Grieve addressed claims to colluded with Brussels to create the Benn Act.

The former Attorney General was grilled by Dan Walker on BBC Breakfast after a civil servant accused him and other Remain MPs of plotting against the Government with the EU.

Mr Grieve staunchly denied the claims which he said have resulted in him receiving a death threat.

He said Boris Johnson and his team do not have the power to launch an investigation into suspected collusion with the EU.

Speaking to BBC News, Mr Grieve said: “May I say, that’s the most astonishing statement I’ve ever read. Firstly, I didn’t collude with the EU.

“Secondly No 10 has no power to launch any such investigation any kind anyway. What on Earth is going on?

“How can an official in No 10 Downing Street, I don’t know who it is, is a paid civil servant make such an announcement to a newspaper which led to my getting a death threat.

“It’s based on complete fallacy and in any case it’s suggesting No 10 has a rather totalitarian power that it doesn’t have at all.

“What’s happening when officials say these things? Does the Prime Minister step in and say this is nonsense. Does the leader of Cabinet get involved? Nothing.

“This is a sign of real chaos. It really worries me to see the UK Government reduced in this way to a propaganda machine.

“It’s spewing out nonsense.”
