Subject: RE: BS: Post Brexit life in the UK
Two tweets today from Tory MP Phillip Lee following the leak of the brexit scenarios report:

But if these figures turn out to be anywhere near right, there would be a serious question over whether a government could legitimately lead a country along a path that the evidence and rational consideration indicate would be damaging. This shows the PM's challenge...

The PM has been dealt some tough cards and I support her mission to make the best of them. It's time for evidence, not dogma, to show the way. We must act for our country's best interests, not ideology & populism, or history will judge us harshly. Our country deserves no less.

The voice of sanity, from a Tory too. The government leading us down a path that is clearly damaging is irrational, and it's high time that our MPs stopped worrying about short-term party interests and ideology and spoke out in the long-term interests of generations to come. Brexit is simply insane.
