My my. Tensions are flaring across this Conservative Party this morning, as the Tories tears themselves apart over Theresa May’s Brexit deal with the European Union.
Scottish secretary David Mundell, who has come out in support of Theresa May’s deal, was being interviewed on ITV news this afternoon, and didn’t exactly pull his punches when it came to his recently departed colleague Dominic Raab.
When asked about Raab’s view that May’s deal was a real threat to the integrity of the United Kingdom, Mundell replied:
‘I’m not taking lessons on standing up for the United Kingdom from carpet baggers.’

The gloves are coming off. And it isn’t only Mundell who is turning on his Tory colleagues.
