@a0b872c9 Although I also clearly recall him backing May’s Brexit and at one time conflating SM and CU. Although he admittedly got better and was one of the better of that bad bunch. 

 @683562c3 yes, I certainly don't agree with lots of his ideas, but he's clearly intelligent, and possesses a moral sense - pity he left politics... 

 @a0b872c9 I put him in the same bucket as Dominic Grieve. A good Tory, for a certain value of good. Although I imagine Grieve *did* understand how the EU worked. 

 @683562c3 indeed, and grieve even better...
