Just how daft do you think we are, Graham?

I don't think you're daft. You have a principalled view and in your case it is a left wing credible view unless you have swapped sides.
I think noble act is an overblown description. More like doing what your supposed to do. The personal remarks are an irrelevance.
John Cruddas rebelled as well. Labours rebels were the same people who rebel on a wide range of views and are entitled to their say. However they stood on a Labour promise to their electorate and did the opposite. Typical politicians I hear someone say.
It was revealed yesterday that back in 1975, a whopping 66% of people wanted out of Europe at the start of the EU referendum. That debate actually stated that this was part of a move to a more integrated Europe.
My view is we need reform and Edm is right to highlight the real problems of migrant workers affect on wages. Something I have pressed him about. Of course I and some of the Tory antiEU brigade are on the opposite page again. They believe foreign workers keep wages down and that is a good thing.
Our voters interests are not shared by these people.
