Read our privacy policy A Conservative minister has refused to apologise for swearing at the “Stop Brexit Man” during an altercation outside parliament. When Mr Bray tried to draw Mr Adams into conversation about the new tax announced by the government to fund the NHS and social care, the MP said he “wasn’t interested in talking to an odd bloke with a top hat on chasing me down the street”, a reference to Mr Bray’s eccentric blue and yellow EU-inspired costume. When the Remainer persisted however, Mr Adams said: “Why don’t you talk to your MP and f**k off?” A video of the exchange, taken by a supporter of Mr Bray, was posted by the campaigner on Twitter later that day. We elect people like you, so we’re going to hold you to account.” Later, Mr Bray denied he harassed MPs and was simply trying to quiz them about their policies and votes in parliament.
