Euro-sceptics on rise
MAY I congratulate the Swindon MP Robert Buckland on his promotion from the back benches into the ranks of the Government?
The South Swindon MP was given the job of Solicitor General in David Cameron’s latest ministerial reshuffle, but if Robert Buckand wishes to rise further within the Conservative Party he might need to reconsider his stance of supporting Britain’s membership of the European Union.
It is the Euro-sceptics that are in the ascendency within the Conservative Party at the present time.
