B..b..b...but he's not as British as everyone else because he hasn't got a British surname....

The truly annoying thing is that argument, that we liberated Europe (and three times in 200 years), is one that the Remain / People's Vote crowd have, to my mind at least, never used. Hundreds of thousands of British citizens died to do that, and here we are listening to cretins like him telling us that we should let it all go.

CLIMATE CHANGE COMMITTEE CHAIR TOOK £600,000 FROM GREEN GROUPS FOR HIS PRIVATE BUSINESS
Yesterday the Mail on Sunday sensationally revealed that ‘green’ businesses have funnelled more than £600,000 into Sancroft International, the private company of Climate Change Committee chair and Conservative peer John Selwyn Gummer, now Lord Deben. His powerful committee consistently argues that billions of pounds of taxpayers’ money should be handed out to big green businesses to help them develop green tech. It just so happens some of that money found its way back to him…
Windfarm and solar investor Temporis Capital paid Gummer’s company £50,000 in the last five years.
Electric car battery producer Johnson Matthey handed Gummer’s firm nearly £300,000 over five years, after which he personally urged the Government to speed up plans to make all new cars on Britain’s roads battery-powered;
Energy producer Drax, which gets £700 million a year in Government subsidies, paid Sancroft £15,500 while the Climate Change Committee was writing a report on its activities.
Gummer has never declared these payments made to his company, but insists that he has been fully compliant with disclosure rules.
Despite the scale of the scandal, numerous news organisations including the BBC have entirely failed to cover it so far. Guido hears that the usual cabal of eco-journalists at are steering clear of this story for fear of consequences from the well-connected Gummer….

Saddest part of it is he is in a safe seat so will be voted in again next time.
Does my head in that incompetent MP's for any party can do what the hell they want safe in the knowledge that their constituents would vote for a pig with the right colour rosette on come election time.
Funny enough another one that apparently met with bannon and then Starts spinning lies to appeal to the lowest common denominator. Worrying times politically.
Not really one for 'scummy' monikers, but Christopher Chope surely applies. Blocked a bill today to outlaw female genital mutilation.

Isnt that the bloke who is/was a High Court judge, and has had his fill of accused getting off on technicalities due to rushed, but well intentioned, legislation? As such he routinely "objects" to tons of bills, ensuring they become watertight when on the statute book.
Don't know if he's a judge, but he has form for that sort of thing.

Pretty sure he was. He got pelters for objecting to the up skirt bill, until it was explained why he does it.
