A PLUCKY band of campaigners are continuing their march to Westminster to tell politicians that 'leave means leave' when it comes to Brexit.
The March for Leave campaigners set out on their epic 14-day trek from Sunderland to Westminster on Saturday, joined by Nigel Farage and led by Leave Means Leave Chairman John Longworth.

Today the band of 50-plus marchers passed through North Yorkshire, joined by up to 50 local residents along different legs of the route.
The marchers say they are representing the 17.4 million people who voted to leave the EU in 2016 but are now watching the exit disintegrate in Parliament amid chaotic scenes.
Mr Longworth said the march had been targeted by Pro-EU remainers.
He said:“Hard core remainers may be trying to sabotage the march but the fact that they are attempting shows how scared they are of us and who we represent."
Richard Tice, founder and vice-chairman of Leave Means Leave, said: “There is a reason why the so-called "People's Vote" host all their marches in London, or on the continent.
"They know they will be embarrassed were they to attempt to do so outside of the Westminster bubble.
"A jaunt around Westminster isn't a march, it’s an average day for those living in the political bubble. Instead we are four days into a 270-mile march meeting real people, not the Westminster elite."
