Disgraced Brexit Party founder backing Johnson shows how far the Tories have sunk

Responding to the news that Catherine Blaiklock, the disgraced Brexit Party founder who quit over her Islamophobic public statements, is backing Boris Johnson, Liberal Democrat Deputy Leader Ed Davey said:

"Catherine Blaiklock joins a long list of unsavoury characters, including Tommy Robinson, who are now backing Boris Johnson.

"The fact that Sir John Major, Michael Heseltine and others are urging voters to keep the Tories out of power shows quite how far this Conservative Party has sunk. 

"Thursday is the last chance to stop Boris Johnson, stop Brexit and build a brighter future by voting Liberal Democrat."
