Sir John Major
Major - whose own premiership was scarred by in-fighting over Europe - said the PM should offer MPs a free vote on the final Brexit deal, with the option of putting it to the public in a second referendum.
In fact, Cash said, Major's demand for a second referendum was an "attack on British democracy" and "it's about time these people who are trying to upset [the result] realised how fundamentally undemocratic they are, and wrong".
The former PM urged parliamentarians to undo the referendum result and vote "with their conscience", not in line with party policy on the final European Union deal.
"No-one can truly know what "the will of the people" may then be".
He called on Mrs May to "let Parliament decide, or put the issue back to the British people".
"Every one of the Brexit promises is, to quote Henry Fielding, "a very wholesome and comfortable doctrine to which (there is) but one objection: namely, that it is not true".
Major was instrumental in building the framework for peace in Northern Ireland that allowed his successor, Tony Blair, to sign the Good Friday Agreement.
In a speech on Wednesday, the former prime minister criticised Theresa May's negotiating strategy as he called for MPs to be given a free vote on Brexit.
Our self-imposed "red lines" have boxed the government into a corner.

Fantasy Cricket: Dream11 tips for PSL T20-- Quetta Gladiators v Islamabad United
Earlier last night, Kevin Pietersen with his quick-fire 48 runs steered Quetta Gladiators to their second win in the tournament. Pietersen top scored for Quetta Gladiators and smashed four boundaries and three sixes in his 34-ball knock.
The former prime minister even further qualified the importance of the United Kingdom electorate's views on Brexit, claiming that "the referendum was advisory only" and "no-one can truly know what "the will of the people" may be [by the end of the two-year transition period after Britain withdraws from the EU]".
"They are so tilted to ultra Brexit opinion, even the Cabinet can not agree them - and a majority in both houses of parliament oppose them. We are too resourceful and talented a nation for that".
"We are all urged to be "patriotic" and get behind Brexit".
That meant there would have been a large turnover of voters since the initial landmark decision; through death, coming of age or people changing their mind.
"Of course we will get through it: life as we know it won't come to an end".
Major rejected arguments that it was "unpatriotic" not to back Brexit, stating: "It is precisely because I am patriotic that I oppose it".
Sir John warned the government can only secure a "frictionless" border if the United Kingdom stays in "a" Customs Union or "the" Customs Union after Brexit.
"I have no doubt that if we were to follow his advice now we would suffer the same fate again".
Insisting he is "neither a Europhile nor a Eurosceptic", but "a realist", Sir John added: "I believe that to risk losing our trade advantages with the colossal market on our doorstep is to inflict economic self-harm on the British people".
