CONDEMNED BY HISTORY
"My God. History will condemn this period. It will condemn those who’ve sat back and kept their view to themselves, who haven’t stood up and tried to stop all this nonsense.”
A rare black swan in the dismal swamp of Brexit Parliamentary politics - Anna Soubry:
"I am simply not prepared to stand back and watch my country fall off a cliff edge. If that means voting against my party, so be it."
"It’s like the counter-revolutionary forces of Chairman Mao or Joe Stalin. It’s not enough that you went against everything you ever believed in; you have to sign up in blood. It’s like Orwell’s thought police and the reign of terror combined"

Monstrous, Humiliating National Crisis
"A PAINFUL, MONSTROUS NATIONAL CRISIS"
"There is an aspect of national humiliation associated with what is going on. The triggering of article 50 was so monstrously premature." David Miliband, The Guardian.
