Quote of the day 28th January 2019

"Passions are at boiling point and we face a moment of immense national challenge.

But that is no justification for running roughshod over the conventions by which Parliament operates and throwing away a delicate balance that has only been established after hundreds of years of painstaking and sometimes violent evolution.

All my MP colleagues, from every part of the House and every side of the Brexit debate, should draw back from committing an act of constitutional vandalism which we would all live to regret."


(Robert Courts MP, in a telegraph article on the Cooper-Adonis amendment which seeks to delay Brexit unless parliament agrees a Withdrawal Agreement deal by 26trh February. You can read his full article here.)
