I am just going to let this speak for itself. It’s a slightly edited but verbatim account of tonight’s weekly meeting of the Brexiter European Research Group faction of the Conservative Party.
It requires no additional comment from me – other than that I have multiple sources vouching for its veracity.
“We’ve just had an ERG mass meeting, 50 odd MPs present, where virtually the only topic of conversation for 40/50 mins was: how best do we get rid of her? What’s the best way to use our letters?
Comments included: ‘Everyone I know says she has to go’, ‘she’s a disaster’, ‘this can’t go on’.
You might think that this is usual far for us, but it’s not! Not in the mass weekly meeting, never in what’s basically a public forum.
The truly amazing thing was they spoke about it so openly, in such an unabashed way, even though they could see the Whips sneak sitting there.
