Boris Johnson's sister Rachel and ex-BBC star Gavin Esler today revealed they will stand for Britain's new remain party in the European elections next month.
Heidi Allen, interim leader of Change UK, set up by The Independent Group of MPs known as the TIGgers, launched their campaign in Bristol today.
Announcing his Change UK candidacy, Mr Esler, who left the BBC after 40 years and is Chancellor of the University of Kent, claims the 2016 referendum was won with 'lies and cheating' and said: 'We have to stop Brexit now'
He added: 'I've joined this Remain alliance for three reasons: Stop Brexit, fix Britain, and move on to reform the EU'.
