- chippy 10y agoTom Watson actually voted FOR the recent mass surveillance law / snoopers charter. Do not praise him. Davis, the Tory, didn't vote.
- _joel 10y agoWho now (Davies) is our 'Brexit' minister. Oh, the irony.
- Angostura 10y agoAs far as I'm aware the case was originally bought by Conservative MP David Davies when he was a backbencher. He then had to excuse himself from it when he became a Cabinet member and was constrained by collective responsibility. That'll be an interesting Cabinet meeting.
- jdietrich 10y agoExtraordinary as it might seem, Tom Watson and Jeremy Corbyn aren't on speaking terms. Watson finds out most of Corbyn's decisions by reading about them in the newspaper. To call Watson a loose cannon would be a gross understatement. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/jeremy-corbyn-and-tom-watson-avoid-each-other-at-conference-parties-a7334681.html http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/jeremy-corbyn-... http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/jeremy-corbyn-peerage-tom-watson-shami-chakrabati-labour-honours-list-latest-a7173351.html http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/jeremy-corbyn-... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-38340131 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-38340131
