Ex-Tory MP Anna Soubry has claimed Theresa May has a “problem with immigration” on the same day she decided to quit the Tories to join parliament’s new Independent Group.
Soubry, who announced her resignation on Wednesday over the government’s stance on Brexit, told BBC Newsnight that the prime minister would not agree to the single market “because of the free movement of people”.
Soubry added: “And I think what’s really worried me about Theresa, and she has history in the Home Office that supports this – because I’m an old barrister, I look at the evidence – and I think she’s got a problem with immigration. I really, honestly do.”
https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/ ... f4d8a2172aAsked by presenter Kirsty Wark whether she meant a personal issue with immigration as opposed to one related to policy, Soubry replied: “Oh yeah, I think she just has a thing about immigration.
“And I don’t know where the hell that’s come from, because in a modern Conservative Party, when you again look at the evidence, if we don’t have all of these people that come and do all this work in our country, who on earth is going to do it?”
Dontcha love it when politicians are ideologically opposed to lying. The intestinal fortitude it must take not to jump on the bandwagon for your own gain.
My grandmother used to own a small West Highland Terrier. Every day when it was dry a cat would turn up on their wall at around 3pm and sun itself outside their front window. Every day the dog would stand on the window-ledge quivering with rage at this cat having the temerity to be there.
Apparently she was the one who blocked the removal of students from the immigration figures, even though there is no proof that they overstay in any numbers let alone large ones.Malcolm Armsteen wrote: ↑Wed Feb 20, 2019 11:03 pmEx-Tory MP Anna Soubry has claimed Theresa May has a “problem with immigration” on the same day she decided to quit the Tories to join parliament’s new Independent Group.

In this analogy, Anna is the cat and the gammon are the dog.

This is probably why Corbyn fans are quite so enraged by the IG. It brings to the fore that things are rarely black and white, good guy and bad guy. Some Tories have good qualities and have supported shit policies. Some Labour people support shit policies and are good people and so on. You have to make a judgement call on what's the most important thing to you, what will do the most good, what you can compromise on.youngian wrote: ↑Thu Feb 21, 2019 3:01 pm
I'd like to get back to disliking Tory frontbencher Soubry for defending Osborne's cuts in her haughty barrister manner designed to get up your nose. You at least respect that those politics are founded in some kind of empirical reality. Both parties are now so far down a Trumpian rabbit hole of fantasy Brexit economics and politics even Anna Soubry looks like a safe port.
