ANNA SOUBRY - ARCH EUROPHILE & ANTI-DEMOCRAT.

Following the government's 'agreement' at Chequers 10 days ago, the Brexit rollercoaster has careened on. Yesterday, various votes in Parliament were won by small margins and even with the help of rebel Labour members. Today, the odious arch-Europhile Anna Soubry, has been making a nuisance of herself on the BBC, voicing her opinions about matters.

Soubry is of the opinion that Theresa May no longer runs the government but that Jacob Rees-Mogg is now in control of the country. She wants there to be a 'Government of National Unity' embracing what she considers to be the 'pragmatic' parties - that is Plaid Cymru and the Scottish Nationalists as well as those members of the Labour party who do not think much of Jeremy Corbyn. In other words, Soubry allies herself with every socialist party in the House of Commons though excludes the Eurosceptic parts of both Labour and her own Conservative parties. She talks of democracy while rejecting all who do not share her own views.

The agreement reached by the government ministers at Chequers was for a severely watered down version of Brexit which has failed to find much favour with anyone and could still be rejected by the European Union itself. Nonetheless, Soubry continues to rage against those whom she refers to as extreme hard-line Brexiteers, whatever that means; one suspects that it encompasses anyone who is in favour of the UK leaving the EU and who opposes her own pro-EU stance.

In her interview on the BBC this morning, it was very clear that Soubry has nothing but hatred and contempt for her fellow Conservative, Jacob Rees-Mogg; every time she mentioned his name it was accompanied by real venom. She even implied that Rees-Mogg had some involvement in the Conservative party's problems of the mid-1990s when John Major faced criticism from various senior party figures, although Rees-Mogg only entered Parliament in 2010, at the same time as Soubry herself.

Soubry is an arrogant and highly opinionated individual who seems to care little for democracy, but only for her own beliefs. Her political views seem to be very confused and she appears to be extremely embittered, especially towards men such as Rees-Mogg and Boris Johnson whom she also detests. One wonders exactly what is her driving force.
