THE Brexit Party's prospective parliamentary candidate for Bournemouth West has taken down a tweet which read: "Collaborators will be purged."

Robin Adamson also said Lady Hale, president of the Supreme Court, prominent Remain campaigner Gina Miller and MP Yvette Cooper are "EU lackeys".

The would-be MP said in one now-deleted tweet: "I doubt Gina Miller has any thought for what is going to happen when we leave the EU and the purging of EU and Soros collaborators begins.

"She needs to enjoy her moment in the sun as it will not last."

In a second tweet, which has also since been deleted, he said: "At the end of World War Two, women like Yvette Cooper that had it good consorting with the Germans and acting for their cause, were outed, publicly humiliated and many lost their lives to the angry nationalists that have suffered under the enemy's cruel control.

"Her choice not ours."

He posted the comments after the Supreme Court ruled the government's prorogation of parliament was unlawful.

Mr Adamson told the BBC his remarks were "over the top".
