Anne Marie Morris has said she might not vote Conservative at the European Parliament elections.
The hard Brexiteer backbencher made the remarks at a meeting of the Bruges Group, a eurosceptic think-tank, in Westminster today.
Speaking from behind a podium adorned with a framed photograph of Margaret Thatcher, Ms Morris said she won't be campaigning in the elections, if Britain is forced to take part in them.
And asked if she would consider voting for Nigel Farage’s Brexit Party, the Newton Abbott MP said: “I will need to see who is standing in my area.
“I would like to be voting for people of a Brexiteer persuasion.”
Asked about a GE she said: “I think we will have one this year. But I won’t vote with Corbyn in a confidence motion.
“I don’t think he wants an election.”

Also speaking at the event was Mark Francois, who gave a speech which included a lengthy personal history before launching into the Tennyson poem Ulysses.
And fellow Tory backbencher Andrew Bridgen also spoke, warning those present that a General Election was on the horizon.
He said: "We are headed for a general election.
“We need to remove Theresa May as soon as possible.
“Then we need a leader who believes in Brexit. Then, probably, we will lose our majority as members leave the parliamentary party.
“That is when we will have a election”
Bridgen said the Conservatives had to stand “for the 52%” or the ground will be taken up by others.
