Hopefully not annoying our Mods by discussing political matters here, but would like to add that he is not a man of true conviction. I remember when he was MP for Uxbridge and Heathrow was trying to get permission to build the third runway. He told his constituents and the media that he felt so strongly that it should not happen, reflecting the view of many from that area, and that he would stand in front of the bulldozers to stop work going on.
And what happened when the vote took place in Parliament? He suddenly found that he needed to attend an unscheduled meeting in the Middle East that meant that he was not able be in the House to vote against it going ahead. He was back in the UK the very next day!
