Uri Geller has said he will telepathically stop Brexit if Theresa May refuses to do so.
In an open letter to the prime minister, the illusionist – famed for bending spoons – said he felt “psychically and very strongly” that most Britons did not want the UK to leave the European Union.
He wrote: “I love you very much but I will not allow you to lead Britain into Brexit. As much as I admire you, I will stop you telepathically from doing this – and believe me I am capable of executing it. Before I take this drastic course of action, I appeal to you to stop the process immediately while you still have a chance.”
Geller, who is currently in Israel, used to live in the village of Sonning in Berkshire, which lies in Ms May’s Maidenhead constituency
