Tory MP and prominent Brexiteer Anne Marie Morris has been recorded saying that a Brexit no deal would be a “real n*****r in the woodpile” at a meeting of eurosceptics in Central London.

The member of parliament for Newton Abbott was discussing what financial services deal the UK could struck with Brussels after 2019.

After saying just seven per cent of financial services in the UK would be affected by Brexit, Morris said: “Now I’m sure there will be many people who’ll challenge that, but my response and my request is look at the detail, it isn’t all doom and gloom.

“Now we get to the real n****r in the woodpile which is in two years what happens if there is no deal?”

A n****r in the woodpile is a dated American figure of speech meaning “some fact of considerable importance that is not disclosed—something suspicious or wrong”.

Commonly used in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, usage has declined since then, and use of the phrase by public figures has often been followed by criticism over the offensiveness of the racist term involved.

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.
