The 78-year-old, who has been incarcerated for more than 50 years, wrote to a Channel 5 journalist from Ashworth high security hospital where he is currently being treated. In the letter he wrote: “I'm still bedridden and have been for over two years. The lung and chest condition is terminal.”

Murderer Brady also made a shocking attack on the High Court’s ruling that the British Government must get Parliament's approval before proceeding with Brexit talks. He wrote: “Those three public school judges who dredged up a law from the seventeenth century to obstruct the people's vote for Brexit, additionally exemplify the corrupt establishment, and the myth of a politically independent judiciary.”

The letter, written to journalist Julian Druker, also reveals Brady enjoyed spending time with IRA inmates. He has been imprisoned at Ashworth since 1985 when he was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, although his request to be moved back to a regular prison in 2013 was denied. He is now said to be so weak that medical staff are using a hoist to move him.
