A very sensible summary. It’s sad how extreme this debate has become particularly here on Twitter with a lot unpleasant personal abuse and threats. In real life my constituents are much more reasonable and measured. Many of them are calling on me to support the deal.https://twitter.com/RoryStewartUK/status/1068414542928056321 …

Are those the principles and convictions that have seen you go from a Remain voter before the referendum to a hard Brexiteer afterwards and now to become an advocate of the deal which pleases neither camp?

I have never been a “hard Brexiteer”. I believe in respecting the largest democratic exercise in this country for many years. That does not make me a hard Brexiteer. I am a pragmatic democrat.

You can’t interact happily with Tory tweeters when they’re pushing the party line & helping promote your message, but then call them bullying trolls for questioning your position. That’s disingenuous. You’re seeking to use Twitter to push ur line, debate comes with the territory

Rachel you shouldn’t confuse bullying with perfectly polite debate and discussion to put alternative views to you forward on this platform! After all you use it for the same purpose. And I have to say it was the politicians that started this and have caused this unholy mess !!!

But you don't engage your constituents that challenge your views or will be massively affected by Brexit.

So a slowing national economy when others are growing, increasing poverty are good for your constituents and the country? The figures that substantiate that question are HMG’s from Wednesday.

I don't mind you complaining of trolls if there are any and there is a simple way to deal with trolls. Hit the "block" button. However, there does appear to be a massive difference between your principals, convictions and what is right for your constituents like myself.

You shouldn’t be bullied but sadly you are the wrong side of history.

Wait for the towed line: "It takes back control of our money law and borders and takes us out of the ECJ" .....
