SIR – I share B Murray’s disgust (Letters, October 27) at David Cameron’s about-turn on his promise of a referendum on the EU and the attitude of the three main political parties to the vote on it.
However, his comment that “it looks as though we have no honest MPs left” sullies the integrity of the 81 Conservative MPs who rebelled against the dictatorial, out-of- touch, attitude of Mr Cameron and defied his three line whip in order to vote with their conscience.
Notable among the “rebels” was the MP for Shipley Philip Davies, who has demonstrated time and time again his loyalty to his constituents and his country, at the expense of personal promotion within the ranks of the Conservative hierarchy.
