Watch: Lib Dem leader Tim Farron accosted by furious Brexit voter on campaign trail

This year’s General Election has had its first angry voter moment after a furious pensioner confronted Tim Farron over his stance on Brexit.

Pensioner Malcolm Baker told the Lib Dem leader – who is campaigning on an anti-Brexit sentiment – that voters “did know” what they were voting for in the EU referendum and accused him of believing Leave supporters were racist.

Mr Farron, who told voters last week to ‘smell his spaniel’, was in the middle of a television interview in Kidlington, near Oxford, when the 65-year-old took him to task over his position on the EU.

In a furious rant, Mr Baker said voters “do know, we did know” what they were backing in the referendum.

When Mr Farron insisted he did not believe Leave voters were racist, he replied: “Yes, you do. I tell you what, you keep going on all the time…”

Mr Farron questioned the disgruntled voter about whether he was proud his grandchildren “would inherit a poorer, less powerful, less secure country”.

Mr Baker replied: ”I’m proud that they will be coming out of Europe and that we will have our own destiny and not have people telling us we are going to pay £100 billion to get out.

“If that’s your policies I hope you are going to get six seats.”

He then shouted out to Mr Farron: “I have always voted Labour but I will be voting for Theresa May.”

Mr Baker later said: “I’m fed up of hearing this chap keeping on running Britain down.”

The Lib Dem leader wants another vote on the terms of the deal that Theresa May comes back with after EU negotiations.
