Steve Baker, a “Brexit spartan” who voted against Theresa May’s deal with the EU on all three occasions, has said the vote to leave the EU should have required a supermajority of 60 per cent.

A Government minister has expressed regret that the Brexit referendum did not require a supermajority to pass.

‘It probably should have been a supermajority – that’s a huge thing for me to say’, says Steve Baker on 2016 referendum.
