BREXIT GOALS
Brexiteer teen cheered on Question Time as she blasts Tories saying ‘only Liverpool and Spurs should be left in Europe now’
Emily Hewertson, 19, said she's voting for Nigel Farage's Brexit Party
A TEENAGE Brexiteer has been hailed a hero after blasting the Tories for bungling our EU exit on Question Time.
Emily Hewertson, 19, said she would vote for the Brexit Party because she's so furious with the Conservatives.

She blasted: "To be honest, I can't believe we're still having this debate.
"At this point in time the only things still left in Europe should be Liverpool and Tottenham.
"If you would like another referendum, why can't we use the EU elections as another referendum?
"I've been a member of the Conservatives since I was 16, I'm now 19, I've canvassed for them. But the party has let us down and I will be voting for the Brexit Party during the European elections.
"That seems to me a democratic way of having a 'second referendum' which would be undemocratic."
Emily's tirade was met with a massive round of applause by the audience on the BBC One show.
And web users praised her on social media too - Shaun Sadler said: "Emily you’re a legend.
"Thank you so much for showing Brexiteers have a young face too."
Others called her the "star" of last night's Question Time which featured politicians including Nigel Farage and Amber Rudd.
Miss Hewertson replied: "Wowwww never expected this scale of response... more than 5,000 Twitter followers overnight.

"So sorry I can't reply to all the lovely and supportive messages but have read and appreciate them all."
She also hit out at Remainers who questioned her views, saying: "Am I not allowed to have an opinion?"
Emily insisted she'll still vote Tory at the next General Election but will support Mr Farage's party at the May 23 Euro poll to send a message to do-nothing politicians.
