The Brextremists have gone too far this time. People of all parties and backgrounds who care about the UK need to protest

With Brextremists like Andrea Jenkyns, the MP for Morley and Outwood, now talking about “going down fighting” – as if they were members of some terrorist cell, rather than a group of responsible politicians putting forward any rational proposals – it’s time the great silent and not-so-silent majority made their feelings known about Brexit. We must shout with one voice: “Not in my name!”

This Saturday, 20 October, I will be proud to join what promises to be the biggest ever march against the madness of Brexit. People of all ages, faiths and backgrounds – all political affiliations and none – will take part in the March for Our Future. It will be a day for putting aside egos and forgetting which other groups we represent as we unite under one banner. 

That is, of course, how it was the last time we marched on that scorching hot day in June, and what distinguishes us from the people on the other side of the argument: we actually do get along, and complement each other.

We will march together to celebrate our common purpose just as so many of those who are determined to take us out of the European Union make obvious they are putting personal ambitions ahead of the people of the United Kingdom. Unity and concern for the common good are our unique selling points.

I was asked the other day whether I was a People’s Vote supporter or whether my role with End the Chaos – the movement I have set up to give clarity where there is currently all too much fog on Brexit – precluded that. I laughed and said we all have the same aim, the same objective and the same dream for our country. The question is asked often by those who wish to sow division. It made me think of the hilarious sketch in Monty Python film The Life of Brian, where the members of the Judean People’s Front couldn’t get along with almost identically named organisations holding precisely the same objectives.

I need hardly add this is a time when special interest groups and organisations are determined to tear our society asunder. Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour party is essentially propagating class warfare. Dominic Grieve said last week Corbyn wanted to use the chaos that would ensue after a hard Brexit to fulfil his lifelong dream of overthrowing the capitalist system.
