Could you please leave it on here for the time being as I think it deserves a wider response.

Boris Johnson has stripped Julian Lewis of the Conservative whip after he was elected as Chair of the Intelligence and Security Committee instead of Chris "failing" Grayling the Governments choice.

They say he colluded with the opposition to win the vote.

The chair of the committee as with all backbench committee should be a choice of the committee not the Government

This is is really of the most fatuous, stupid and idiotic decisions by a Government that is becoming prone to them.

It strikes to the heart of our parliamentary democracy.

And for those who don't know Julian Lewis is strong right winger one of the most Eurosceptic of MP's and a Government loyalist.
