Camilla Tominey of the Daily Telegraph on Lib Dems

Here is Camilla Tominey, Associate Editor of the Daily Telegraph, speaking on BBC's Question Time about the U-turns and inconsistencies of the so-called "Liberal Democrats" about Brexit.



As Spiked magazine put it last week in an article called "Heidi Allen, political fraudster,"

Every single MP who has defected to the Lib/Dems "stood on a manifesto pledging to deliver Brexit. They were all elected in areas in which the Lib Dems came either third or fourth at the last election. And precisely none of them has called a by-election, to see if his or her constituents are happy to be represented by another party to the one they actually voted for."

"Many of them went out of their way to tell their constituents that they would uphold the vote. During the 2017 election campaign, Heidi Allen couldn’t have been clearer, telling a hustings:

I was a Remainer, but the minute we start ignoring the democratic will of the people in this country, we are slipping very quickly towards the kind of banana republic I don’t want to live in… So we have to accept the result."

She was right then. She is wrong now.
