A YOUNG Tory member spoke out to the BBC at the Conservative Party Conference and bravely urged Remainers to "stop stealing my future" by frustrating the Brexit process.
Brexit: Cummings fan tells ‘Remoaners’ to ‘stop ruining future’
Speaking to the BBC's Adam Fleming at the Conservative Party Conference in Manchester, the 15-year-old Tory member said he was confident Dominic Cummings will help Boris Johnson deliver Brexit by October 31. "Brexit is excellent", he told the BBC Brussels correspondent. Adding: “We can do our own trade deals, we can create our own rules, global Britain.
“I’m not 100 percent how to make Brexit happen on the 31st of October, but I’m sure Dominic Cummings and people like that know.”
Asked what he would do if he met Mr Cummings, he replied he would ask for a selfie.
When Adam Fleming asked him whether it was fair to describe him as a “15-year-old Dominic Cummings super fan”, he confidently said: “Yes. He says he’s going to deliver Brexit and he’s quite a good adviser.”
Then added: “Can the Remoaners please stop ruining my future for Brexit Britain?”

The young Brexiteer's plea comes as Boris Johnson prepares to present his final Brexit offer to the EU in the hope he gets a deal agreed by October 19.
The Prime Minister will give a speech later today at the Conservative Party Conference possibly outlining his plans.
Mr Johnson has triggered speculation about the possibility of mounting a legal challenge to the Benn Act aimed at preventing a no deal Brexit after questioning its “legitimacy”.
Meanwhile Tory MP Daniel Kawczynski has revealed more details about his plan to test the legislation in the courts after scheduling a meeting with London-based barristers.
The EU Withdrawal (No.2) Act - dubbed the ‘Surrender Act’ by critics including Mr Johnson - passed its second reading in the House of Commons on September 5, and received Royal Assent on September 9.
Brexit: Jacob Rees-Mogg 'not sorry' over prorogation
It requires Mr Johnson to ask the EU to extend the Article 50 negotiating period to prevent a no deal Brexit on 31 October.
Speaking on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme yesterday, Mr Johnson said: “There is a legitimate question to be asked about the generation of this SO 24 legislation.
“We have no knowledge of how it was produced. It is not subject to normal parliamentary scrutiny.
“There are no bill committees by which the processes can be invigilated.

“No one knows by whose legal advice it was drawn up.
“I do think we need to work out as we go forward how we scrutinise these things properly. They are a constitutional novelty, to say the least.”
In a separate development, Mr Kawczynski yesterday revealed he had met with a London-based law firm to discuss the possibility of mounting a legal challenge, with more discussions planned.
Mr Kawczynski, who has stayed in Westminster this week rather than attending the Conservative Party conference in Manchester, told Express.co.uk: “I’m not yet releasing the name of the legal firm in question but they are coming to see me on Friday, and I’ve informed the chief whip.”
