Last of the brave

I wIsh to take this opportunity to acclaim 16 MPs; the only ones standing in the General Election of the 155 who voted against the invasion of Iraq. For Labour, they include Diane Abbott; Kevin Brennan; Karen Buck; Richard Burden; Jeremy Corbyn; John Cryer; Paul Flynn; Roger Godsiff; Fabian hamilton; Kate hoey; Ian Lucas; Alan whitehead. For the Tories: Richard Bacon, Kenneth Clarke; Edward Leigh; Andrew Murrison. whatever else one thinks of them, they had the moral compass not to be bullied into approving a calamitous decision for the UK which still affects our lives today.
