Anonymous Facebook ads urge voters 'to bin Chequers'

An anonymous website has been using Facebook adverts to encourage British voters to email their MP and urge them "To bin Chequers" and back Brexit. Mr Collins, and fellow committee member Paul Farrelly, are among many MPs whose constituents have been targeted by the Facebook ads.
