Two MEPs campaigning for a second referendum have been re-selected as candidates for the Conservative Party.
Sajjad Karim, a former Liberal Democrat who has described Brexit as 'madness', will be top of the party's candidates list in the North West of England.
While Charles Tannock, who co-founded the Conservatives for a People's Vote campaign, will be on the ballot paper in London.
The pair have been re-selected by the party ahead of next month's European Parliament elections despite their calls for Brexit to be cancelled.
It comes as senior party figures worry the Tories are heading for a crushing defeat on May 23, and could lose more than half their current tally of 18 MEPs as many party members are unwilling to go out and canvass in elections they never wanted to take place.
