MP’s actions are contradictory
So far, so good: it was somewhat reassuring to see our MP, who is always keen to brandish her extensive business experience, add her name to the cohort of sensible MPs of all persuasions determined to save us from crashing out of the EU.
How come then Mrs Keegan voted against the non-binding Spelman amendment which simply mirrored the letter she signed only three weeks earlier? True, three weeks of the current fun-packed parliamentary shenanigans can feel like three years. Still, it would be interesting to ask Mrs Keegan to enlighten us on how she can explain this apparent contradiction.

One can’t help thinking Andrew Tyrie would have had other priorities.
