Really, why is she despicable? Or are you just insulting someone from behind the safety of your keyboard?
Something which appears to have been perfectly acceptable behavior towards another panelist as Dimbleby allowed her to get away with it without censure. However I agree with her on this particular occasion. |

She is having calls from her constituency to be deselected. There is so much anger from those she is meant to be representing because they voted overwhelmingly to leave and they see their MP as not working for their interests but her own.
Unfit to be an MP, her hysterical behaviour in the days after the lawfully held democratic referendum because the result didn't suit her views was unbecoming an elected representative in the House Of Commons. She should go back to gracing bland daytime TV like she used to do. |

Soubry is clearly in the wrong party, she should defect to the Lib Dems and seek re-election. Not that she will of course, she enjoys the trappings power and likes the sound of her own voice too much banging the Remoaner drum.

Interesting that she does not think that immigration levels will not go done after we leave the EU and that there will be a constitutional crisis if the Scottish Parliament blocks Article 50. She may be right. She's a very liberal tory, therefore I like her

And Kate Hoey's constituents voted overwhelmingly to Remain and they see their MP not working for their interests but her own.
Presumably you think the same of the 250 plus remain voting MPs representing seats which voted Leave? Or is it just double standards? |

Anna Soubry is an MP for one reason and it is not to serve her constituents.

Anna Soubry is a lightweight politician and someone who's used to getting her own way, hence the cry-baby tears she publicly displayed on 24th June.
She used to be a member of the SDP before becoming a Tory. How can she represent her constituency when the majority of it voted LEAVE? She might well lose her seat at the next election. She deserves to. Perhaps she could team up with Kenneth Clarke and form a new party. They could call it the "Silence Democracy Party". |

Sounds like she's not afraid to stand out from the crowd. No Groupthink here

I prefer her to Kate Hoey. Another unrepresentative MP, she is also far better than the unrepresentative David Mundell, who must be one of the worst MP's at Westminster (despite the Herald voting him Scottish MP of the year).

Every time she appears on QT she inevitably ends up talking over people or shouting at them, she stooped to new depths the last time she was on when screeching about Labour and in particular Corbyn and his supporters for being 'nasty people who try to intimidate others' in order to get their way, She interrupted John McDonnell in order to hurl unprovoked abuse at him by calling him "a nasty piece of work" on national TV,

Ah yes I remember that now. I'm no fan of McDonnell but she really did go over the line and got personal on that occasion.

Why then, when I said about my MP (who is a remainer in a remain constituency) that I expect him to vote down Article 50, the line trotted out then was not 'the will of the constituents' but that he should heed the 'voice of the peeeepul nationwide' for Brexit and vote for it. I hold the whole referendum, its acrimony and lies, in contempt anyway, so perhaps that has something to do with it. |

She's going to lose her seat in the next election.
Brexit movement has made her come across very un-democratic. |

Brexit movement has made her come across very un-democratic. Where will it coalesce? Around UKIP? I simply don't see the same zeal (on either side) as you do, among the general populace. My area went for Remain but with a 45% for Leave. At work and in other places I don't see much passion, and nowhere near as much passion as on here. Many seemed to have decided on the day, even in the ballot kiosk. And when it comes to an election the usual tribalism will kick in, together with the usual staple concerns about health and education etc. |

That all depends how cohesive the leave vote will be.

I am a life long Labour voter, but have a great deal of respect for Anna Soubry. Sometimes, it fells like Anna is the only MP willing to be vocal about how ridiculous Brexit is. Only wish we had more MPs like her, who are willing to speak sense & argue for the greater good (even if the majority of their constituents disagree)

I would far rather the UK hadn't voted for Brexit but it did and the view of the majority of those that voted should be implemented.
I've little doubt that Soubry would be more than happy subverting democracy given half a chance. I've always found her tone deeply patronising and she's another prime example of a Blairite/Cameronian self important, deeply out of touch 'bubble' politician. |

I'm not a massive Ed Miliband fan, but he has much more charm and class in his little toe than this sour-faced Anna does.. he accepts democracy |

So pathetic. She disagrees with your ilk and she's suddenly 'self-important, hideous, a hag, a steaming turd.'
And to top it off some faintly misogynistic stuff about a 'bitchfest'. She's rattled your collective cages quite evidently, which is most gratifying. I don't think she was sacked either. She resigned as I recall. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk...-a7136186.html |
