Don‘t watch the news, it will do wonders for your blood pressure. In the last minutes, Miller, Corbyn, a grinning Soubry and Lucas. All harping on self righteously as what we voted for gets trampled into the dirt
Anna Soubry‘s one careless comment says everything about the Independent Group
Soubry might not be quite as far Right as Jacob Rees-Mogg or Liam Fox but she is Right-wing, a Tory who left the Conservative Party but not Conservativism by justifying cruel welfare cuts which drove desperate people to the charity of Foodbanks just to eat.
Potential Labour defectors will now think twice before throwing in their lot with ex-Conservatives.
Soubry: „The truth is the battle is over and the other side have won. Dear friends now former colleagues who share those one nation values and principles will deny it. But I believe in their heads and in their hearts they know it is over.“

I know how Anna Soubry feels
Leavers have been called Nazis for two-and-a-half years and nobody came to our defence.
Of course Anna Soubry is being protested against
Guess what – politicians who try to overthrow democracy will make people angry.
