British Prime Minister Theresa May should stand up to hard-line Brexiteers and kick them out of the Conservative Party, Remainer Tory MP Anna Soubry told BBC Newsnight<\/a> on Monday.<\/p>\n

Soubry, a former member of ex-PM David Cameron\u2019s Cabinet, said \u201chard ideological Brexiteers\u201d like Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson and Jacob Rees-Mogg \u201chave taken over\u201d the party.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are not the Tory party I joined 40 years ago, and it is about time Theresa stood up to them and slung \u2019em out,\u201d Soubry said.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrankly, people have got to grow some, get a spine, stiffen up, stand up to these people \u2014 most of them are ghastly bullies but also cowards at the same time \u2014 and speak up for their constituents and what is right for our country,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Soubry threatened to quit the party if May does not challenge the hard-liners, and said she\u2019s not alone.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf it comes to it, I am not going to stay in a party which has been taken over by the likes of Jacob Rees-Mogg and Boris Johnson \u2026 And if that means leaving the party, form some new alliance, God knows, I don\u2019t know,\u201d she said, adding that May is in danger of \u201closing huge swathes of not just the parliamentary party but the Conservative Party.\u201d<\/p>\n

She warned: \u201c[May] thinks she can pander to 35, forgetting there is a much larger group who are getting sick and tired of this.\u201d<\/p>\n

Soubry said plans for a softer line on post-Brexit trade between the EU and the U.K. \u2014 such as seeking membership of the European Free Trade Association or remaining in the customs union or single market \u2014 were thrown out to please the party\u2019s hard-liners.<\/p>\n

She also accused them of \u201ctaking down\u201d former PMs Cameron and John Major, whom she called \u201ctwo great leaders, neither of whom stood up to them.\u201d<\/p>\n

In what is seen as a concession to those in favor of a hard Brexit, Downing Street said Monday<\/a> it would not consider staying in a customs union with the EU.<\/p>\n
