Tory Brexiteer Andrea Jenkyns has been accused of ‘playground bully’ tactics after responding to a story about her television interview with a ‘you lost get over it’ tirade.

Jenkyns took aim at an article alleging she ‘erupted with fury after taking exception with Boris Johnson being branded ‘a liar”.

The deputy chairwoman of the European Research Group appeared on All out Politics on Tuesday defending Boris Johnson’s decision to overwrite key aspects of the Northern Ireland Protocol.

Responding to a question by Labour’s Chris Byrant on whether Johnson was a liar for going back on a promise to uphold the Protocol, Jenkyns said: ‘Chris, how dare you call the prime minister a liar, when look at your party.’

Jenkyns went on a rant about how Labour wanted to ‘thwart Brexit’ before claiming that the party had voted the ‘biggest arch-Remainer’ it had.

Responding to the New European article, Jenkyns tweeted: ‘As a proud brexiteer it is always a badge of honour when sore loser remainers in The New European take offence at me putting forward the case to honour the expressed democratic will of the British people. #GetOverItYouLost.’

She was swiftly ridiculed on Twitter.
