with the direction of travel of the government. he doesn t specify specifically which bit he s unhappy about, but he certainly says he s against coercive covid i9 regulations. so now he has decided to walk. given this has come out rather earlier than was intended, he is acting now. so we are witnessing a spilling over of the tory party s internal difficulties into the public. we had the commons rebellion over covid i9 passports, as they re called, this whatsapp group in which a cabinet minister is kicked off by some of the rebels who voted against the restrictions, and now we have this resignation around the cabinet table. i think it shows the bitterness in various wings of the tory party. the fact that steve baker and dean dorris can have a row like that then she gets kicked off the group is indicative ofjust how nasty it has all become.
