Well, they hardly spoke during the debate.
Cameron now has 81 "impossible" MPs so far as Ministerial office is concerned. Two of them were PPSes 24 hours ago.

The word on the Arab Street, explicitly the Edgeware Road( Yes, London), is that Libya has now moved to the top of countries anxious to join the EU.
ReplyDeleteTory whingers composing the anti-EU bloc have suddenly heard the penny drop.

Wishful thinking? The Scots are only now waking up to the fact that they have been patsies since North Sea Oil began to be exploited by Perfidious Albion.
