The MP for Broxtowe argued that the economic necessity of preventing a hard break from the EU meant she was not sorry for suggesting that Theresa May should “sling out” ardent leave campaigners from the party.
In interviews with BBC Radio 4’s Week in Westminster programme and the Guardian, Soubry said her Brexit-supporting colleagues had used “really dreadful language” about Philip Hammond, the chancellor.
“Lets be very honest about this, mainly this is a group of people who will always put their own ideology first and foremost – bigger than any leader, bigger than any party – and they are determined they are going to get their own way,” she said in an interview to be broadcast on Saturday.
She added: “Perhaps for the first time ever in the Conservative party people are equally determined that they are not going to get their own way. I am prepared to compromise – they are not – and we are fed up.”
Without wishing to delve into the whole tedious Brexit circus, it is still worth raising the issue of a national strategy. Politically we are where we are, not somewhere else more in tune with Ms Soubry’s desires. That being the case we have to move on from where we are and going backwards is a most unattractive political option, if indeed it is an option.
Although it is easy enough to see politicians as cynical opportunists, Ms Soubry seems to be telling us very clearly that emotion has a strong role too. Maybe more so than we usually admit. Why make the issue into a public drama if not for emotional reasons?
There is nothing fundamentally wrong with emotional reactions, we need them to live, but within our human limitations they should not drive national strategic thinking. At this stage of the Brexit game the issues are largely technical, or should be. Again – we are where we are.
