Just received a text to say that my Association Chairman has been told that I am no longer a member of the Conservative Party. First I’d heard of that.

Not even a member of the Conservative Party?
I finally have something in common with Dominic Cummings.

‘EU reneges on deal’ turns out to mean ‘EU maintains its longstanding position to which the UK agreed in the Political Declaration’. Not quite the same thing. https://t.co/2Q3U0VyTlM

For the first time in 14 years as an MP I voted against the Conservative Party whip. That whip has now been withdrawn.

If tonight’s motion had been lost, a no deal Brexit would have been almost inevitable. Probably not a good career move but the right choice.
