Principles and politics don't make good bedfellows. Politics is all about compromise including on principles. That's the reality some of us have to accept.

I'd give up a lot of my principles to avoid a deform win. If that means leaving the ECHR and a British bill of rights brought to us by Labour rather than deform, so be it.

There’s principles and there’s β€˜existential’ issues too. We all have skin in the game, but some are more directly at risk of being sacrificed on the altar of compromise.
