Petty Sajid Javid proactively vetoes a second Scottish referendum. Pathetic!
Danger is this turns into a "test of strength" for other Tory leadership hopefuls... Will the out-of-touch Tory membership demand "no deal Brexit + no to Scottish referendum" as price of their support?

The slippery slope is forming before our eyes. 10, 11, 12 candidates in the race, each taking a different hardline position. Every time they say something outrageous, the Tory members' eyes light up like New Year fireworks... so every other candidate adopts that position too.
By the end of the leadership race, we may see candidates advocating the death penalty and public flogging. Somewhere along the way, expressing political dissent will have become a crime. Gilead, Pacem and the world of 1984 all rolled into one, then raised to the Nth degree.
And the Tory faithful will give themselves heart attacks in their eagerness to embrace the maddest of the mad. The rest of us, helpless, will have watched this car crash play out night after night on TV, since the next month or so will be "All Tories, All the Time". Happy times!
