Tory Remainers are not a very smart bunch. Given the number of ‘Red Wall’ seats their Partyy won on the promise of Brexit, getting rid of Boris and replacing him with a Remainer would be terminal for a lot of MPs North of Watford. Fans of Tobias Ellwood are a minority because many of the big name Remainers left Parliament or lost their seats in 2019. Ellwood piece for PoliticsHome was widely quoted in the Telegraph and he demonstrated a poor understanding of what he was claiming and nothing would happen overnight given how slowly Brussels does anything. Rejoining the Single Market would have negligible impact on the cost of living crisis since most of the cause is the global energy market and pandemic measures. Imagine if the Germans really turned off the Russian gas and oil instead of just making reassuring noises about delivering weapons to Ukraine. Rejoining the Single Market would also make absolutely no difference to the Northern Ireland Protocol where the problem is the Customs Union. Of course Ellwood really wants to rejoin both and revert to being part of the failing EU Project. His argument that “leaving the Single Market was not on the ballot paper” is true Remainer desperation. What disingenuous Ellwood really wants is cheap foreign labour but he is blind to the fact that a large proportion of the seasonal farm labourers came from non-EU member Ukraine and they are a little busy at the moment. If 54 Conservative MPs trigger a vote of no confidence then Boris will surely manage to win the vote because those desperate to get rid of him cannot find anyone that would definitely win the next election as Boris surrounded himself with a cabinet mostly of incompetents who represent no threat to him. Dame Kelly Stormer would love Ellwood to be leader of the Conservatives as Boris has only managed one of his manifesto commitments whilst Ellwood would have done none.
Definitely takes one to know one. Only one thing worse than an ordinary brain dead conspiracy theorist and that is a Jock brain dead conspiracy theorist.
All your dreams can come true, if you have the courage to pursue, Tory Kleptomania. Arise Dame Foster of Bungshire.
