1/4 A THREAD: People on here keep asking if I am outraged by Ann Widdecombe’s views on homosexuality. As if this was new info. FGS I follow politics. I even watched #CBB.
2/4 Guess what, as grown up women, we both already know we don’t agree with each other on wide range of issues. But we do agree that this is a seismic moment for democracy. We both stood as @brexitparty_uk MEPs to defend it.
3/4 Reminder: Politics is all about asking public to choose between competing visions of the future. They get to choose. But if our choices can be trampled over by new democracy-lite MPs, those differences can be ignored anyway. eg: #Brexit
4/4 So I won’t be lectured to about my allies in the fight for democracy by people who demonise pro-democracy campaigners as bigots, who blithely dismiss popular sovereignty as populism and who campaign to overturn voters’ political choices they disagree with.
