LONDON - Nicholas Soames, the grandson of World War Two leader Winston Churchill, said on Wednesday that Brexit is sending Britain’s status into “free fall” after he was sacked from the Conservative Party for rebelling on a vote on leaving the European Union.

Soames, 71, who has been a Member of Parliament since 1983, said Britain’s image was being tarnished by Brexit. “I have always believed that the referendum result must be honoured and indeed I have voted for the withdrawal deal .... which is more than can be said for my right honourable friend the prime minister, the leader of the house, and other members of the cabinet, whose serial disloyalty has been such an inspiration for so many of us,” Soames told parliament.

“These are friends of mine, and believe me, I take absolutely no joy in any of it. But it was very sad and surprising that they should choose to undermine the UK’s ability to get a deal,” Johnson told broadcaster ITV.

It’s the attempt to derail Brexit that has been the issue, the people voted for it and the corrupt politicians have betrayed those voters

Should have backed his Party and the PM

Many of us knew that would happen.

And yet Sir Nicholas Soames MP, Grandson of Churchill, voted in support of a Bill in the UK Parliament that intends to placed the UK under duress of a Supranational State that has no elected leaders. UK Parliament USA EU Brexit NSoames

Churchill that bloody mass murders of 4million Indiansthat family member Yukkkk

cheryl_marlin Churchill’s descendants slowly incubated from the discarded ash of his cigars. I can’t imagine it any other way

Uhm, that was the plan

Our duplicitous and scheming Parliament is doing that. It will not do what the people voted for and given a chance to lt the people vote again it will not do that. Democrats fearful of the ballot box.

Right. Influence among globalist oligarchs.

This is definitely not their finest hour.

tide has turned and he got caught out like many of his generation major clark heseltine patten etc etc

Sorry dude, the influence of the British empire is a thing of the past.

Johnson implementation of 'Trump's Brexit plan'free fall to Hell Brits are lucky, they have some politicians with integrity and political spine !

Welcome to the club.

And he’s right, when people vote and the politicians ignore there votes of the people. No ration person considers it a free nation and a free fall of influence follows.

God forbid the people tell the government they want to do something Thank GOD the elites always know better then us and will save us from our own stupidity!

Continuem, está divertido.
