An eccentric Welshman who spends all day howling ‘Stop Brexit’ at the gates of Parliament has moved into a £6 million house opposite Jacob Rees-Mogg, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.
Rare coin collector turned political activist Steve Bray, nicknamed Stop Brexit Man, is using thousands of pounds raised from supporters to rent the luxury townhouse on one of the most exclusive streets in Britain.
Mr Bray, 53, of Port Talbot, has held a daily vigil dressed in a blue top hat and EU/Union flag cape since 2017, but he shot to notoriety after heckling Mr Rees-Mogg on TV last autumn, branding the Brexiteer ‘a disgrace’.
Now their political battle is dividing the ‘millionaires’ row’ of Cowley Street in the heart of Westminster.
He has asked members of the public to provide him with more than £12,000 to fund his lavish pad for two months in the run-up to Britain’s departure from the EU on March 29.
He is also understood to have received a private donation from plumbing magnate Charlie Mullins.
Mr Rees-Mogg, who was unaware of his new neighbour, said: ‘Should he wish to borrow a cup of sugar, he would be very welcome.’
