Aaaand there we have it...

@RoryStewartUK believes the #SingleMarket would be a "big mistake", b/c...

...immigration.

He'd be happy with a #CustomsUnion, as long as it didn't involve...

immigration.

He's as much an anti-immigration Tory as the rest of them.

@RoryStewartUK As if to underline his non-#SingleMarket, Leaver credentials, @RoryStewartUK says:-

"I want to leave all the institutions of the #EU".

I'll repeat the reason he gave in my previous clip:-

>>Immigration.<<

@RoryStewartUK A few clips from @RoryStewartUK on @LBC, where he chose to display his true colours.

1) Under that urbane exterior, he just wants to "get [#Brexit] done".

To "get back our sovereignty" and "get back control of our borders".

I thought the govt WP said UK was always sovereign?

@RoryStewartUK @LBC More from @RoryStewartUK on @LBC:-

"...leave the Commission, leave the EP,... leave any talk of a European Army [!!}, take back control of immigration..."

Mr Stewart, by adopting a pose of studied urbanity, is in fact doing a bit of a number on us.

@RoryStewartUK @LBC Next, from @RoryStewartUK on @LBC:-

a renewed emphasis on "control of immigration"...

@RoryStewartUK @LBC Further from @RoryStewartUK on @LBC:-

"Like Nigel [Farage]..., I'm a democrat..."

@RoryStewartUK @LBC Penultimately, from @RoryStewartUK on @LBC:-

"... If I was lucky enough to be PM, and Nigel [Farage] were to win a large number of seats," Stewart would consider negotiating some kind of deal with the Brexit Party, and both would have to "compromise".

@RoryStewartUK @LBC Some might say I'm doing a hatchet job on @RoryStewartUK.

But I'm just replaying what he's said.

He wants to control immigration.

He wants to regain a sovereignty we never lost.

He calls Farage a democrat, and would contemplate negs with him tds a deal.

Rory's a Tory. /ENDS

@RoryStewartUK @LBC PS

Odd, isn't it, that @RoryStewartUK would not serve in a Johnson Cabinet,...

... but would sit down with Nigel Farage to discuss the possibility of a Coalition with him?

@RoryStewartUK @LBC PPS

I think @RoryStewartUK has probably blown it today, already.

And, oddly, I'm not at all sad about that.
