Former Tory MP John Major urges people to vote tactically to deny Boris Johnson majority
Major is formally endorsing three former Tories who are now running as independents because they had the whip withdrawn after voting to facilitate the Benn Act, the legislation that ruled out a no-deal Brexit on 31 October. According to the news release issued in advance, he is backing David Gauke, Dominic Grieve and Anne Milton.

Commenting on them, Major will say in a video message:

"Let me make one thing absolutely clear: none of them has left the Conservative party, the Conservative party has left them. Without such talent on its benches, parliament will be the poorer, which is why – if I were resident in any one of their constituencies – they would have my vote."

But Major is also going to back calls for a second referendum. Addressing young people directly (the rally has been jointly organised with For Our Future’s Sake, a second referendum campaign focusing on young people), he will describe Brexit as “the worst foreign policy decision in my lifetime”. He will go on:

"It will affect nearly every single aspect of our lives for many decades to come. It will make our country poorer and weaker. It will hurt most those who have least. Never have the stakes been higher, especially for the young. Brexit may even break up our historic United Kingdom.'

Well said sir !
