Yes, Grieve wasn't one of the Conservatives' best performers. About time they replaced him as he does seem to have lost the plot.

Obviously quite an intelligent electorate, then.

It does show that the Conservatives are in a precarious position. Infiltration by ex-UKIP and others further afield on the spectrum could massively change the direction of the party, much like Momentum did to Labour.
Brexit is a divisive issue for all parties, frankly.

If you really think that Labour are in a better position than the Conservatives on the Brexit question, you are not paying attention.

l don't agree with some of Dominic Grieve views but once you start to treat a politician who is well respected across all parties then you are on a downhill path.
Dominic Grieve, I'm afraid, is one of those MPs who has disrupted the process to the extent that it has caused the degree of public dissatisfaction with the way in which our road to Brexit has been blocked.

I have absolutely no sympathy with him. Call himself a democrat? Pull the other one. The nation voted to LEAVE.

Let's jolly well leave, then. And if they won't agree to leaving with a deal, then let's leave with a no deal. It's not really rocket science.
