Host Dan Wootton spoke amid concerns that a second vote on Brexit would become a major political issue in the next general election. Ms Widdecombe argued that Mr. Johnson must continue with “bold” policy changes that will encourage voters to support Brexit.
She said: “Boris can benefit greatly from Brexit.
“He can scrap VAT on fuel and no one, as I have noticed before, will want to vote to set it back.
“So that it will stop on its own people to reopen the Brexit question.”
The Reform UK member angrily asked, “What’s the matter with Boris?”
Another concern aside from that of a second Brexit vote is that Boris Johnson’s public reputation will also play against the Tories in a future election, as seen in the by-elections in Wakefield and Tiverton and Honiton.
In Wakefield, Labor won the by-election, and the Liberal Democrats stole Tiverton and Honiton who previously had a majority of 24,000 plus for the Conservatives.
Wootton, host of GB News, awaited the discussion and said: “I think if the British public really knows that there is a risk that the biggest democratic mandate in our history will be overthrown at the next election, that’s a good thing. for the Tories, it will get their base to pull them together.
“It will make the red wall think twice.”
He added: “If you think about Starmer being supported by the EU – loving Lib Dems and the SNP and the Greens, I mean I can not come to any other conclusion.”

Meanwhile, former Prime Minister Tony Blair has argued that although he supports a second referendum on Brexit, “I understand we have done it”.
Speaking at his London brainstorming session, he added: “We did it legally, we did it politically and it’s not going to be reversed any time soon – let’s say any time in this generation.”
Ms Widdecombe conceded that an election at this stage would mean that the Conservatives would be harmed due to the “personal campaign” against the Prime Minister.
Ms Widdecombe said: “I think that because of the personal campaign against Boris, the Tories if they were to enter a general election soon, would indeed be very weak and that is why I say that the ball is in Boris’ court.

“He still has two years and he can still do a huge amount of things that people do not want to turn around and do not want to risk through closer ties with the EU.”
The politician argued that voters were “tired of the Brexit argument” and added: “I wish Boris would just go on with it.
“He does not benefit from Brexit.
“He says ‘this is a bonfire of regulations here’, but when you actually set it against what he can do. Big, daring measures and he just works it every time. ”
