The Conservative MP has risen in popularity, mainly due to his charismatic appearances on shows like Question Time and Have I Got News For You, where he has displayed his no-nonsense approach to politics.
He recently said of Brexit on Question Time: “You are either in the European Union or you leave it. There is no such thing as hard or soft Brexit, there is only being in and out.”
