Boris Johnson's top aide today appeared to blame the Brexit crisis on "rich Remainers" in his first comments since last night's chaos in Parliament.
Privately-educated Dominic Cummings, whose baronet father-in-law has a castle, was quizzed leaving his £1.6m Islington townhouse after Mr Johnson's bid to hold a general election failed a second time.
Parliament was prorogued last night meaning there now cannot be an election until after the October 31 Brexit date.
Meanwhile the Prime Minister - who has a majority of minus 45 - will now be forced by law to request a three-month Brexit delay if there's no agreement by October 19.
The boxed-in PM faces having to resign or attempt to evade the law after saying he would rather "die in a ditch" than delay.
But asked for his next move today, Mr Cummings - whose home is said to be worth £1.6m and include a 'tapestry room' - was characteristically bullish.
The senior No10 advisor said: "You guys should get outside London and go to talk to people who are not rich remainers."
Asked if the UK would still leave the EU on October 31, he replied: "Sure."
Mr Cummings is facing a formal demand by Parliament to hand over private communications he had on Brexit.
MPs voted last night to see private Whatsapp and other messages from aides - including Mr Cummings - about the decision to suspend Parliament.
Critics believe they will show Boris Johnson misled the public when he claimed the suspension was nothing to do with blocking debate on Brexit.
No10 aides have suggested they will not comply with the request.
