Will any sensitive Tories reflect these issues?


The anger that is strongly expressed in Northern Ireland as well as in Scotland for their very clear opposition to Brexit and the rejection of their views by the Westminster Conservative Party is one of the potential reasons why Sinn Fein has taken over Northern Ireland following last Thursdays election. There are of course many strong views in Scotland. In a different setting and with some of the votes and certainly many of the reactions, the appalling approach over Rwanda led to this group of people to opposed Priti Patel yesterday when she was meant to speak to a group of Conservatives. As it happens over the last few days in my blog I have written several cases of how people such as the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Lord Roberts of Llandudno have been ignored by the Government on their questions regarding Rwanda. Along with many MPs and a number of people in the House of Lords, one of them was the Lord Black of Brentwood who is a Conservative member of the House of Lords. His written questions were
