WHILST the Tories appears to have declared civil war, a small voice within me isn’t convinced that the events unfolding, are not in some ways being stage-managed?
I cannot put aside the truth of “NEVER TRUST A TORY!” What if this whole manufactured situation is the greatest political deception in British history?
Imagine at a final vote against a hard Brexit the right honourable expelled Tory members recrossed the floor to vote with their party? Am I reading too much into this? I just cannot fathom why self-serving Tory MPs have suddenly developed a conscience? My whole being is telling me that these actions go against the grain.
We are no longer dealing with political operators who think or act within in the historical confines of previous acceptable behaviour. No, we are now dealing with a group of Tories who will do whatever is needed, by guile, lies and dirty tricks, to get that No Deal through Westminster. I think the Tories will attempt to outmanoeuvre the other opposition parties.
Is it a case of “beware of Greeks bearing gifts”?

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
