Brexit: Femi warned 'don't patronise me!' by Lucy Harris
Leavers of London representative Lucy Harris took aim at Remainer Femi Oluwole as the pair's discussion on an election being used as a tool to deliver Brexit became heated on Sky News. The Brexit Party MEP accused Mr Oluwole of patronising her as she reflected on the current state of Brexit and the potential cause for it. Ms Harris insisted some MPs were not representing their constituencies and were continuing to derail Brexit.

Mr Oluwole began by saying: “What percentage of voters voted for parties whose manifestos ruled out a no deal Brexit?”
Slightly perplexed Ms Harris replied: “That wasn’t on the table.”
Mr Oluwole replied: “In 2017, 54 percent of voters chose parties whose manifestos ruled out a no deal Brexit.
“So does that not mean that if there are versions of Brexit that are unacceptable to the British people.

Ms Harris interrupted to say: “52 percent of people voted for a Brexit.
“That would mean either no deal Brexit or a WTO, that is what they voted for Femi.”
Before the Brexit Party MEP could continue the Our Future Our Choice campaigner insisted he had already explained his point.
Ms Harris then snapped: “Don’t patronise me Femi, that was very patronising.

“Femi it is now my time to ask questions.”
“Do you think we should have a new general election.”
The Remainer replied no as he did not feel it would resolve anything at this stage at which Mr Harris explained her wider point on why it may now be necessary to deliver Brexit.
She said: “We have a Parliament currently that cannot move anywhere.

“We cannot pass anything through because nobody has a majority.
“MPS don’t even reflect their own constituencies, don’t you feel it is time that we flushed out those MPs who don’t represent their constituencies and have somebody new in there that genuinely represents the general public of this country.”
Despite the Brexit Party’s plea to enrol new MPs into the system as a way to help resolve Brexit Mr Oluwole repeated his point.
Towards the end of the interview, Ms Harris also clashed with Sky News’ Kay Burley as she questioned whether the journalist has truly remained impartial through reporting of Brexit issues.
