James Chapman, who was chief of staff to Brexit Secretary David Davis, said the Tory party had been taken over by “extremists” in its pursuit of a “hard Brexit”, and would suffer a backlash from voters. Mr Chapman, who left Whitehall this year, also revealed that at least two members of the Cabinet have expressed an interest in his plan to set up a new political party that would oppose efforts to take Britain out of the EU. Never get a majority “The Conservative brand has been damaged to such an extent that the party won’t be elected again and ever again get a majority,” he told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme. The hard Brexit plan being pursued by Theresa May was going to “take our economy off the cliff and make Black Wednesday look like a picnic”. “When that happens the the Conservative Party will never be in power again,” he added. Mr Chapman, who was political editor of the Daily Mail, has called for a new party to be established, called the Democrats, which he says has attracted interest from both Tory and Labour frontbenchers. Tory MP and leading Brexiteer Jacob Rees-Mogg rubbished the idea of a new party, claiming Mr Chapman was attempted to overturn democracy.
