How you can defend this pathetic man, I do not know.
I’m not defending his position I’m telling you what I think he is likely to do.

I expect footballers to play football, why would you not expect politicians to play politics?

I’m not convinced that supporting Brexit is Statesmanlike. Certainly we’ve not seen such behaviour from Johnson, Gove, Mogg et al.

It’s up to Government to govern. Not the opposition.
