Interesting. From what I'm hearing the fabulous Phil is rallying business and others of good sense and sound judgement against Corbyn, Farage, Leadsom and the rest of the dark forces of hard Brexit. Good man!
From something that was said a few days ago it seems Theresa May is supporting Hammond on this
Just a thought - what if TM and Phil Hammond come down in favour of the single market and outflank Corbyn, Farage and Leadsom by using cross party support
I'd back that. Needs to reach the right point in the negotiations then might be a masterstroke. Both main parties split though. Could be a good thing.
The country has to come first
I agree, certain politicians need to think of their place in history. A liberalish sensible fudge of a Brexit abandoning strong reduction in European immigration and stopping bloody Corbyn are both pretty vital.
Corbyn must have hurt his remain followers and if you add conservative, lib dem, SNP, green MP's to the 50 - 80 labour pro remain you have a good majority to stay in or close to the single market. Additionally if Theresa can find a way through she will have redeemed herself in spades
Remaining in the Single Market is not possible.
I think you will need to explain this to BigG he is all-over the place .
No I am not. Since Airbus have threatened to leave Wales I have moved my opinion that jobs come first. I no longer support a hard Brexit that threatens 40,000 Welsh jobs including my son in laws. We have to stay in or close to the single market
What do you mean close to the single market ?
We will definitely be close to the single market as it's just over the border in NI
Effectively, Brexit will take place in Great Britain and not the UK. Practically there would be very little change in Northern Ireland.
Just browsing wikipedia (as you do).. I wonder how different life would have been had Portillo got one more vote in the third round of the 2001 leadership election.

These alternate histories are great scenarios for daydreaming. It's amazing where you can end up with a little imagination.

It's a shame he's given up on politics (although I understand why he has). He's my kind of Tory. Thatcherite, but socially liberal.

Good morning, btw.
I'm not sure he's Geoff's kind of Tory. Too many Spanish genes...

I'm not sure there is any reason to doubt Portillo's loyalty.

He ceased to be a Thatcherite after Thatcher left. In fact, the old lady wasn't very pleased.
