RIGHT BRIGADE’S CHARGE

-

Tory Brexit rebel Andrew Bridgen is feverishly campaignin­g to topple Theresa May.

The North West Leicester MP says the 2017 election was like the Crimean War’s Charge of the Light Brigade.

He told me: “We’ve already been into the Valley of Death once and not all of us came back. We’re not facing the guns again under her.”

Brexiteer Andrew reckons Mrs May should be replaced by a Brexiteer. Natch. Either ex-Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson or former Brexit Secretary David

Davis – that’s if he’d take the job.

DD has been putting it about he’s done with politics, and this Parliament could well be his last.

Discarding Mrs May is not easy.

It takes 48 MPs to trigger a no-confidence vote before a leadership contest can take place. As things stand she’d probably win it, making her safe for a year.

But whoever is in charge of the Tories, Andrew predicts we’ll be charging back to the polls next May. Do Hertfordsh­ire voters know they have an MP with ambitions to act like an internatio­nal terrorist?

They would if they tuned into a video on the Core Politics YouTube channel made with Hertford & Stortford Tory Mark Prisk. He’s so obsessed with James Bond he’d love to play arch-villain Ernst Stavro Blofeld in a 007 film.

The MP is familiar with villains. He’s been baby killer Herod in an am-dram Jesus Christ Superstar.
