The panel was made up of the Tory MP James Cleverly, and Labour’s shadow housing minister Sarah Jones, who is also an MP for Croydon. President of the National Farmers’ Union Minette Batters, businessman and entrepreneur Sacha Lord and comedian and writer Geoff Norcott also joined host Ms Bruce in the Brexit heartlands of Derbyshire.

Ms Bruce bitterly snubbed Mr Farage, who became the face of the Brexit campaign, over his celebrations in Parliament Square.

It is understood that the anti-European campaign group ‘Leave Means Leave’ were given approval to hold the event in Parliament Square.

They had originally called for Prime Minister Boris Johnson to appear on stage “to mark the extraordinary date”.

However, Mr Johnson is holding his own private gathering of colleagues and friends at Downing Street.

Instead, Brexiteers will be hearing from Brexit Party MEP Ann Widdecombe, Wetherspoon founder Tim Martin and Julia Hartley-Brewer.

Mr Farage will then join them along with Brexit party chair Richard Tice.

However, Ms Bruce joked about the arrangements, saying that it was not a party she would want to attend.

She said: “I noticed that Nigel Farage has complained about his bash in Parliament Square – he’s not allowed to have fireworks, music or alcohol.

Mr Cleverly said: “If you want to celebrate, then do so, have fun.

“But I would also say, if you know people who don’t think this is a moment of celebration then don’t rub their noses in it.

“Because the big thing about this is that a question was asked, and it was a question that had been rumbling on below the surface for a very long time, and it needed to be resolved.

“The question was asked, the country answered, everyone promised that they would abide by the decision, it turned out that only the Conservative Party meant it.

“We ended up having a General Election – in large part on this issue – and the question was answered for a second time which is why we are leaving the European Union.

“There are people for whom that is worrying.

“And we are absolutely determined to make sure that if you’re a European national in the UK then you know your settled status will be guaranteed.

“The Prime Minister is an internationalist who said we are going to be a good global neighbour.

“We will maintain animal welfare standards, consumer safety standards and employment standards.

“So for the people that want to celebrate, great.

“And for the people who perhaps have genuine worries about what this change of relationship with the EU will mean – we are absolutely determined to calm your concerns and demonstrate that the UK will be a globally engaged high standard, good global player.”
