Three cheers for Sir Peter Tapsell.
The Father of the House of Commons, there continuously since 1966 and first elected in 1959, has been a Keynesian and pro-Commonwealth opponent of the Eurofederalist project from the very start.
He has consistently opposed the neoconservative wars all the way back to Kosovo.
He has called for a return to the division between retail banking and investment banking.
He has identified, in their seasons, the money markets and the media moguls as the heirs of the nabobs and of the Whig magnates whom past generations of Tories had made it their defining cause to cut down to size and to subject to the sovereignty of Parliament.
And at yesterday's Prime Minister's Questions, he likewise identified the intelligence agencies.
