Rachel Johnson, sister of Boris, is to stand in the European elections for anti-Brexit party, Change UK.

Change UK, originally the Independent Group, has also signed up ex-BBC journalist Gavin Esler to stand during the June vote.

The party used the We The Curious science centre in Bristol for its election launch, after receiving more than 3,700 applications from people willing to stand in the upcoming vote.

Heidi Allen, the former Tory MP and now Change UK member, described the candidates as “Tiggers”, adding: “This is no rebel alliance, this is the home of the remain alliance. If you’re fed up with our broken politics join us.”

Ms Johnson took a swipe at her brother, saying she did not want to see Brexit “rubbing out my children’s prospects and chances of living and travelling and working in Europe”.

Rachel said: “These are chances that the politicians who decided to campaign to Leave have enjoyed themselves.

“It is simply not fair — and sometimes one has to stand up and be counted. It is now that time for me.”

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
