The Conservative MP for Telford sparked outrage today after replying “So What?” to warnings from John Major that Brexit is set to be more brutal than anyone expected.

Lucy Allan responded on Twitter to claims made by the former Prime Minister that Britain could suffer heavily when it leaves the European Union for good at the end of the year.

In a speech, which has been described as “masterful” by some, Major said our “hefty international influence rested on our history and reputation, buttressed by our membership of the EU and our close alliance with the US.

“Suddenly, we are no longer an irreplaceable bridge between Europe and America. We are now less relevant to them both.”

Confirmation, if it was needed, that Telford’s Tory MP Lucy Allen doesn’t care what negative impact Brexit has on her constituents.

But Tory MPs have hit out at their former leader, calling him a “second rate Prime Minister” who “never understood Brexit”.

Andrew Bridgen told The Sun: “What do you expect from a man who is widely considered a second rate Prime Minister?”

He tore into suggestions the UK was no longer relevant to the EU post Brexit: “Clearly the UK is a huge asset, not least because of the £15 billion a year we’ve been paying into the coffers.

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.
