Country before Party

Well done to 21 Tory MPs including Justine Greening tonight. History is made by them  putting country before party politics.

Hear hear, Lucille!  Heroes all of them, putting Country before party.It was an historic moment, Johnson stumbling over his words, the panic rising in his fat arrogant gullet as he saw his majority take a seat opposite.It "hit the fan" three years ago and the UK has been stumbling its way down hill ever since.

I agree Lucille, my congratulations to them for doing just that, putting country before party politics.

Terrific description, Sarah!

How on earth can a man in a pin striped suit walking through a voting lobby be heroic.? Heroes put their lives on the line not a bit of pin money earned in a 2nd job as an mp.none of these folk are short of a shilling and none are heroes in the true sense of the word.

"none are heroes in the true sense of the word."I think that yo have a very narrow idea of heroism. By the way, Rory Stewart in his earlier life should fit your idea of a genuine hero. Obviously now you see him as a traitor.

I never said that at all.

Although I don't vote for JG - no way I could vote for someone in the same party as JRM and BJ - we should thank her for sticking with what she believes and representing what the majority in Putney voted for.  I believe Fleur Anderson would also make a great constituency MP for Putney, who knows how things will pan out now ...On a different but associated note perhaps JRM wasn't being arrogant last night but with the loss of Ms Greening, the Father of the House, Winston Churchill's grandson et al he was trying to quietly sent a message to the PM about his majority and loss of control? (Thanks to FB.)

He is really unnecessarily tall.
