A lot more Tories were sympathetic to the motion that was carried last night, but wouldn't vote for it because their hatred of Labour is even stronger. This was a cynical piece of politics by the two Eds. Both of them sat in a government that handed ever more money and sovereignty to Brussels over 13 years and both of them are still pro-EU now. But regardless of their motivation, they delivered the correct answer last night. Who cares if we're the only country saying it, the fact is, if the EU is a credible organisation it can't indulge in special pleading and insist it deserves a significant budget increase at a time when its members are decreasing theirs.

We can also hope that now the genie is out of the lamp, Liebour finds it harder to row back as far as it might like and the Commons in general becomes a more Eurosceptic place. It will certainly better reflect the will of the British people of it does.
