Steve Bray (born 26 June 1969[1][2]) is an activist from Port Talbot in southern Wales, who makes daily protests against Brexit in College Green, Westminster. He is known as Mr. Stop Brexit[3] or the Stop Brexit guy.[4] He is often heard during TV broadcasts from College Green at Westminster shouting anti-Brexit statements or seen quietly walking into the background of live TV interviews, wearing a colourful blue outfit and carrying placards with a simple 'Stop Brexit' or anti-government message.[5][6]

In March 2017, Prime Minister Theresa May triggered Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty, formally initiating Britain's withdrawal from the European Union, following the result of the 2016 advisory referendum on the UK's EU membership. Bray was incensed, leaving Port Talbot and traveling to London to protest.[7]

British TV channel ITV call him a notable figure; for the length of his protest, and for the technique he uses to disrupt multi-camera interviews.[5] Labour MP Ben Bradshaw has called him an international celebrity.[8] Bray won PMP Magazine's Person of the Year award for 2018.[9]#brexit #parliament #politics
