MPs must now grow a pair, be honest with the public & recommend we stay in the EU. True public service demands we put the economy & security of our country first at all times, make the toughest decisions & accept any consequential personal fall out. This is what I signed up for.

Why I left the Tory party - Exhibit A.
MPs have voted against Amendment 4 to Clause 37 of the European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Bill, by 348 votes to 252.
This would have protected the right for unaccompanied child refugees to be reunited with their family after Brexit.
