He has a legitimate argument about ensuring legislation is properly debated and limiting the potential for loopholes and technicalities to be eliminated, however, it's not universally applied in his case.

Like I said, I dont know why. Perhaps he saw in his previous life that private member bills/legislation carried a higher degree of loopholes.
Look, I am not defending him, just echoing what was said when the hoo hah about the up skirt objection was explained.
I think like a lot of difficult discussions, there is a tendency for people to want to tribally fall into a position. As I say, he has a valid point about bills being rushed through where there may be serious flaws and also about the right fit backbench MOs to debate fully bills brought before parliament. It's a point of principle and one that essentially serves to protect parliament. I very much doubt he is against the principles of the bill. It is such an obtuse and stubborn position to take on issues like these though - especially given that he doesn't universally apply it.
Calls after the upskirting objection, that he was a pervert, were baseless and actually did nothing to further the conversation or prevent it in future, probably even damaged it.

What I find bemusing about this is that those 3 firms received £800k for the same findings that dozens of internet bloggers found for next to nothing.
So, a few Tory donors did benefit from the whole charade after all.

From a look at some of his old tweets it certainly doesn’t seem to be a one off .
Doesn’t seem to be too keen on Scousers either , apparently he seems to be the bloke who called an abortion clinic in Liverpool crime prevention if anyone remembers.
With Leadsom on the radio this morning prattling on about May's deal, this may be a timely reminder.
