<\/p>\n

Steve Bray has been forced to make a grovelling apology to a Tory MP after making false claims about him.<\/p>\n

The anti-Brexit protester claimed on Twitter that Marco Longhi was involved in the buying of the Crooked House pub near Dudley, which burned down in August shortly after being sold in a suspected arson attack.<\/p>\n

The Dudley North MP engaged solicitors and Mr Bray has now made a humiliating climbdown admitting he was wrong.<\/p>\n

In a pinned tweet, he said: “I recently posted a tweet which mistakenly claimed Conservative MP Marco Longhi was involved in buying the Crooked House Pub which burned down.<\/p>\n

“I didn\u2019t check my facts. I apologise to Mr Longhi if my tweet caused him any upset or distress.”<\/p>\n

Mr Longhi told the Express: \u201cThis is the man who on Wednesdays is seen lurking around Parliament and harassing MPs.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is constantly bellowing out noise and shouting \u2018Liar, cheat and charlatan\u2019 – but it seems he must have been thinking of himself as much as anyone else.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Bray is known for his noisy anti-Brexit and anti-Tory demonstrations in Westminster.<\/p>\n

He travelled up to the Conservative conference in Manchester earlier this month where he gatecrashed a fringe event Ashfield MP Lee Anderson was due to speak out.<\/p>\n

Mr Bray was forcibly ejected from the Bruges Group think tank’s meeting after making a foul-mouthed outburst.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

His apology to Mr Longhi comes after there was an outcry when the 18th Century establishment in Himley, known as Britain’s wonkiest pub, burned down on August 5 before being demolished just 48 hours later.<\/p>\n

Six people have been arrested in connection with the blaze and released on conditional bail.<\/p>\n

Staffordshire Police said their investigation into the fire at the pub continues and urged anyone with information to contact the force.<\/p>\n
