I do not recognise Widdecombe as a reasonable ambassador for Brexit.

I tend to think the over-the-top, vindictive hyperbole by her and her Brexit Party colleagues will, in the long run, harm their cause. If they debated as adults rather than constantly try and excite their followers with patently childish descriptions: corrupt, cancerous, oppressors, feudal barons, etc, they would fare better in the long run.

I understand the strategy where you appeal to the base emotions with simplistic and vivid messages but this does not belong in serious political discourse.
