There are Tories, and there are Tories. Julian Lewis is an old-fashioned right-wing imperialist, but one who cares deeply about Parliament and doesn’t want it ****ed with, either by Cummings and his puppets, or Vladimir Putin.I think it is brilliant that a back bench Tory MP has had the balls to so this.
The government has insisted that the choice of chairman was down to the committee, so to see them spit the dummy and take punitive action against Julian Lewis, who was democratically elected to the post, is another indication that the Tory view of democracy is more like autocracy.
