Farage has apparently lost his slot on LBC.

Gotta wonder if Soubry joined the wrong party by accident at uni and somehow hasn't realised in the intervening decades. I mean, I agree with her complaining about Rees-Mogg and his cohorts being used to privilege and and not caring about the lives of ordinary people, but they are Tories! What does she expect?

She expects the Tories to be Tories but wants them to stay in the EU.

She wouldn’t be saying such things if it wasn’t for Brexit.

Her constituency is quite working class so attacking Rees Mogg is a half decent way of maintaining her supportand she didnt win it from Labour by much of a margin. Unfortunately it's also voted leave with a relatively decent majority so I'm quite surprised she's been so fervently remain. But I'm pretty certain she's got Ken Clarke's constituency in mind for the long term so maybe she's happy to mirror his opinions.

They elected her to office, so she's allowed whatever views she was elected on.

It sounds like they got pissed off when he criticised Spain.

I see the Home Secretary has just tacitly given his approval to the death penalty. What wonderful times we live in

Yeah but who cares about 2 scumbag members of ISIS? They don't deserve our help.

Was going to make a thread about this but didn't get round to it.

Nobody cares about the two members of ISIS.

But the law and the government needs to treat everyone equally. We either support the death penalty for all murderers or not.

Dual’s greatest trick is making people think they “get” him, when he is actually Tommy Robinson’s Nazi uncle.
