Three former Conservative ministers speak on the fringes of the party's conference despite having the Tory whip withdrawn.
"And we cease to follow the traditions of our great leaders. We are no longer the party of Churchill, we are more the party of Trump."
Reading out a message he received on his phone during the event, which he revealed read:"You are a foul traitor", Mr Grieve said:"This sort of atmosphere, which is being currently - I'm sorry to say it - but bluntly encouraged by the leader of the Conservative Party… is unacceptable behaviour and it is undermining our democracy and [will] smash it up.
Mr Grieve, who supports a second EU referendum and Remain, added he was"pleased" to have attended the Manchester conference despite having been advised by some not to go. He revealed he recently chose not to stand at the next general election as he could not recommend a no-deal Brexit, which the government insists is still a possibility on 31 October, to his North East Bedfordshire constituents.
