Speaking to Robert Peston on ITV, he said: "Because the Article 50 Bill has passed, we are having Brexit no matter what. "We actually have a lot to thank Gina Miller for, because it is now in law that we leave the EU by the end of March 2019. "There is no majority in Parliament to repeal that law."
