The night of the Tory knives

I have placed links to two interesting articles.  Reports suggest up to 70 MPS will defy the Conservative whip and possibly a few from Labour and the Liberal Democrats.  Not one of Cameron's better decisions to insist on a three-line whip on what is after all a backbench motion not binding on the government. He has turned the EU referendum vote into a vote of confidence by his backbenchers in his leadership.
