FOREIGN Secretary Liz Truss last night let rip at snobbish Brits who dislike their country and automatically side with Brussels.
She hit out as she unveiled plans to rip up key parts of the Northern Ireland Brexit deal.
In a dig at hardcore Remainiacs, Ms Truss claimed there is a “strand of thinking in Britain that actively doesn’t like our country very much”.
She blamed the naysayers for Brussels constantly misreading the UK’s true position and the will of British people as they “call it wrong again and again”.
Ms Truss said: “It doesn’t represent what the vast majority of people in this country think.”
She was speaking to Trending In The News on the day the Government published long-awaited legislation to over-ride Boris Johnson’s Brexit deal signed two years ago.

The Bill would unilaterally suspend checks on goods going from the mainland to Northern Ireland if they were not destined to travel onwards to the Republic, which is part of the EU’s single market.
Ms Truss said: “I think it’s right that two years down the road we admit what’s working, what isn’t working and we fix it.”
Brussels threatened legal action.
The Irish government said the Bill would be “breaking the law”.
