In March 2017, Prime Minister Theresa May triggered Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty, formally initiating Britain's withdrawal from the European Union, following the result of the 2016 advisory referendum on the UK's EU membership. Bray was incensed, leaving Port Talbot and travelling to London to protest. Bray paid £8,500 to have a float carrying a larger than life size model of Theresa May's head with a pistol marked with the word "Brexit" in its mouth to be brought to the UK. Bray also received press coverage for his Westminster protest in November 2017.
