TelePolitics he needs to learn like so many others it is NOT ABOUT THE INDIVIDUAL - you represent your constituency not yourself

This man is a great man

This comes as no surprise and is the price one pays for Disloyalty to the Party, Government and Nation !

Bobilly10 It couldn’t have happened to a more deserving MP, well apart from the other traitor Anna_Soubry, but it’s her turn soon....

The entryists have spoken.

And so he should, along with a good deal more MPs. The people elected them and they should perform accordingly. Leave means leave!

futureking57 well done people of beaconsfield.lets get rid of more traitors and betrayers

Won’t go though as he doesn’t believe in democracy 🙄

Get rid

Good. The start of many hopefully...bye..

In this life you reep what you sow

Well deserved

It’s about time Well Done to Local Chair a Members now De Selected Him don’t listen t Cons Headquaters t bleating it’s up t Party Chair Group. There will be more Const put these MPs in but then MPs ignore Const , get rid off t rest off these Rabble we are watching closely t whip

The public have spoken, remainers should start listening.

there will be more of this from all sides as democracy isn’t working. We’ve seen it in the election of Corbyn with huge numbers joining the Labour party to have a vote on the leader.

Ha ha ha. A Remainer cvnt bites the dust.

Hopefully there’ll be a few more to go to, Letwynd must be next on the list

Crazy he spoke a lot of sense yesterday. Tory bullies

Hoorayyyy

How do local associations get the funding 2 have their chosen candidate elected? Is it from central tory HQ or local association itself?

If you know your constituents voted to leave then as their MP you have to put your personal feelings away and act on behalf of your constituents. He is going against a democratic vote and the nation's decision to leave. What did he expect and it will be the same for others also

suecresswell01 They are now talking about removing the local Conservative association party so s to protect this ****

I really hope many of our politicians are deselected. The people spoke, were principally ignored so let’s find politicians who will listen.

Democracy at work hahaha

This slimy lying toad deserves it.

Shame on his constituency party

He may be regarded by some in the Party as an outstanding MP but he’s failing to represent what his constituents voted for on a major issue which was reflect in the Party mandate. He should have the integrity to stand down and call a bi-election.

one traitor down many more to come.......we the people.

On the more sane side of Tory politics but democracy at work

After this moronic chaos the UK has been dumped into because of ToryEUInfighting, Who in their right mind today has any confidence in the ConservativeParty? DominicGrieve should have voted with his feet months ago. Here’s why:

DrainTheSwamp 👏👏👏

A lot of others will follow, the public have had enough of politicians Not listening to their wishes and following their own agendas it's time for a complete clearout

Good. WE can not have MPs being allowed to blatantly renege or deceive on fundamental promises upon which they get themselves elected.

He will stand as an independent and take the seat away from the stupid right wing idiots who engineered this. Clear evidence that there is a 'momentum' style takeover in the Tory party. Telegraph (and others) are to blame.

To those who think this is a good thing - you really are poison to this Country

Facing deselection for doing the right thing! Democracy is truly dead.

You are a Traitor ,and because of people like you and remainers there is no further point in voting in the UK for anything ,you have helped to destroy Democracy ,had the remainer won the referendum I would have said `that's what the people want` so be it ,but remain lost .

DrainTheSwamp

After this moronic chaos the UK has been dumped into due to because of ToryEUInfighting, Who in their right mind today has any confidence in the ConservativeParty? Answers on postcard here:

Good!

Good 👏👏👏👏👏 🖕🖕🖕

Recipient of the Legion d'Honneur and a regular broadcaster on French media, remunerated by the French state. For a former Attorney General, Grieve's approach to conflicts of interest seems rather blasé.

And the Conservative Party will let him keep the whip, as it did with Boles, because the entire party is untethered from democracy, decency & honour. On current path the next GE will see them lose a large section of their seats

The push back has just begun. BREXIT will eventually be delivered...

i would like Telegraph to do is publish a nice simple list of MP, names , party and whether they are pro Brexit or pro remain. My vote next time to elect our MP will be on the basis not from which party they are but on whether they demonstrated their respect for democracy

Excellent

Good. more to follow I hope. elected to carry out the will of their constituents yet they do the opposite. Politicians are not fit for purpose.

Conservatives: ‘But he was a true conservative, this is such a terrible shame’ Conservative voters: lol, it’s working

If you do the opposite of what you promis in an election campaign then you should go. Good riddance

So, farewell then, Dom

He should go if he doesn't want to honour the democratic vote of the majority, MPs are there to implement the majority will.

Nice to wake up to some good news!

Great news

Sh!t happens

If he did't do what the people voted for he should be sacked that's whats wrong with MPs cant do what people voted for

Good.

Very sad, Grieve is one of the good ones. The Tories seem determined to turn themselves into the loony right.

The first of many ... get ready it’s coming to all of them

The members have spoken.

And that’s a great shame. One of only a few MPs that are honest and do what’s best for the people and not for the party. Few more like him please

That is very sad. He is such a committed and honest man.

Democracy in action. About time too. Conservatives CCHQPress

All the remainers need this treatment

The ConHome is supposed to be a broad church.

DG should jump ship and join the gang.

This is a predictable outcome.

He's let the party down terribly and damaged his own reputation immeasurably. He had a choice between country/party, and the unelected EU, and opted for the latter. Now he's paying the price for that.
