What a dangerous demagogue Michael Gove is. He gave a performance worthy of Sir Laurence Olivier playing Wimpole of the Bailey in the Commons yesterday. He starred in the Withdrawal Agreement debate, strutting up and down in front of the despatch box displaying his credentials (if you'll excuse the expression) for Tory party leadership. He reminded me of Tony Blair and his ability to 'sell' a bad idea with nothing but enthusiasm. Anybody neutral listening to him would be convinced that the WA was the best agreement ever negotiated by anybody since the dawn of history.

Farming is one of the areas where Brexiteers will need to tread a very fine line.
