Briant believes the emails suggest Bannon, who over the summer unveiled a Brussels-based foundation to help the spread of rightwing populism in Europe, viewed Britain as a “key entry point” to influence European politics. Her evidence includes a chain of emails between Banks and employees of Cambridge Analytica, which was funded by US hedge-fund billionaire, Robert Mercer.

Collins said: “The emails suggest that the role of Bannon and Mercer is far deeper and more complex than we realised. There’s a big question about whether Mercer’s money was used in the Brexit campaign and it absolutely underscores why Britain needs a proper Mueller-style investigation.

“There are direct links between the political movements behind Brexit and Trump. We’ve got to recognise the bigger picture here. This is being co-ordinated across national borders by very wealthy people in a way we really haven’t seen before,” he added.

She was not amused. It was a total and complete violation of protocol.
