Ukip targets seven MPs who voted against Brexit in historic vote
UKIP have vowed to target seven MPs who opposed Brexit in the historic Commons vote on Wednesday night despite their constituencies strongly backing Leave in the referendum.
Ukip will target the seats of seven MPs who betrayed their constituents to vote against Brexit
The seven were among 89 MPs dubbed "the enemies of democracy" who voted on Wednesday night against allowing the government to trigger Article 50, the mechanism to begin the EU exit.
The Government won a huge mandate with a majority of 372 as 461 MPs backed enacting "the wishes of the British people".
Of the 89 who opposed implementing the decision made in the biggest democratic exercise in British history, seven came from Leave supporting constituencies.
The one under biggest threat is Labour veteran Graham Allen whose Nottingham North constituency voted 63.8 per cent to Leave while fellow Labour MP Angela Smith's Penistone and Stockbridge seat voted 61.3 per cent Leave and Paul Farrelly's Newcastle-under-Lyme voted 61.7 per cent Brexit.
Other Labour MPs who ignored Leave votes were Barry Sheerman, MP for Huddersfield, 51.1 per cent and Chris Evans, Islwyn, 58.9 per cent for Leave.

Plaid Cymru's Jonathan Edwards ignored the majority of his constituents in the vote
Welsh Nationalist Jonathan Edwards ignored a 53.8 per cent Leave vote in his Carmarthen East and Dinefwr constituency and SNP MP Eilidh Whiteford snubbed the beleaguered fishing industry in her Banff and Buchan constituency where 54 per cent of voters backed Leave.
Fishermen from Peterhead in Miss Whiteford's seat won praise during the campaign with their flotilla down Thames with Nigel Farage to highlight why Britain needs to be free of Brussels rule which has almost destroyed their industry.
Ukip Brexit spokesman Gerard Batten said: "These mps have just written their own political epitaph as they have just invited Ukip candidates to remove them at the earliest opportunity."
