Often it is only a free press that uncovers and prevents corruption that is vital to a democracy so spying on journalists also attack’s democracy.

Civil servants refusing to undertake work for political reasons and against an important policy of an elected Government is an attack on our democracy, that must not be allowed to succeed.

There should have been a second referendum rather than accepting the deceitfully bad Boris deal.
I argued publicly it was bad.
Shame those who were saying this privately did not perform a public duty and say so publicly.

The problem was that Boris misled the public over his Brexit deal, and it was no better than the May deal.
This with a deeply entrenched, pro remain civil service meant the referendum result would never be respected.
