The Last Leg (18.08)

[politicalsci]

Anna Soubry voted along with the Tories to implement austerity, the economic policy that resulted in Brexit and the death and suffering of the most vulnerable. A new “centrist” party isn’t about stopping the Tories or Brexit, it has always been about stopping a transformational Left Labour Government from gaining power.

These 3 (former) Tories each voted against the motion of no confidence in this government last month, yet they have so little confidence in the governing party that they left a month later. Strange behaviour for people who have confidence in their government!

As she says this, it strikes me suddenly that in different circumstances – by which I mean, I suppose, had Labour not moved so far to the left – it wouldn’t be too difficult to picture Soubry crossing the floor of the House of Commons. As things stand, however, she is stuck: her talent and her ambition have nowhere to go. All she can do is deploy her considerable determination and, to go back to where we began, to take heart from the fact that many people will be rooting for her right until, Brexit-wise, the final credits roll. “We are leaving the EU,” she says. “I accept that. But I made a decision I was never again going to vote against my conscience and that stands. I am simply not prepared to stand back and watch my country fall off a cliff edge. If that means voting against my party, so be it.”

liberals bemoaning that the labour party is too left wing for someone with this voting record is it?

fucking good.
