    With the state of the Labour Party….if you dug up Thatchers rotten corpse and put a blue rosette on it the Conservatives will still probably win :(

    It's really not right to tar every MP with the same brush of greed. There are countless good, honourable MPs on all sides.

    Your description fits Johnson to to tee, however - a man with no principles whatsoever. A man who believes that rules don't apply to him, they're for the little people. The problem is, the people who report to him (in number 10 and in his Cabinet) take his lead in the way they behave.

    A fish rots from the head down.

    I agree…Johnson is up there with the very worse (if not THE WORSE). However I can’t agree that there are countless good, honourable MPs out there….as has been proven time and time again through things like expenses scandals etc….they are all at it.
    We are having the piss taken out of us

    I agree it used to be easier in the old days. I blame Blair for being a Tory in disguise.

    eer Wills nobody has said to me or you but MPs have told other MPs they have withdrawn their letters. This came from a reliable Telegraph source.

    No but a Tory MP has since that he believes some have. I think it’s a true story. Maybe they are hedging their bets?

    Believes? Not really definitive. Who knows? Johnson’s actions haven’t changed in the last day. They should stick to their convictions, if some have withdrawn yeah now betting each way rather than on the nose for sure.

    The original vote was very flawed as to detail and shouldn’t have been allowed to happen as it was, I’m not saying there shouldn’t have been a vote but that more detail was required, however it is what it is now we gotta deal with it. Mogg is dealing with it very well, made multi millions, most of the fishing industry, farmers, etc… less so.
