Dr Philips the MP who resigned earlier in the week over the meaningful vote in parliament row (or what I call Remainers trying to stop Brexit with the meaningful vote), his Constituency (Of which over 50% voted leave) has sent nearly 100 letters of complaint... The chair of Dr Philip Lee's local Conservative Association told Sky News, he's had nearly 100 letters & emails complaining about his decision to resign and only one in favour.
