A LOCAL MP was involved in a heated discussion on social media last night (Jul 9) when he told a fellow Conservative Member that ‘nobody gives a f**k’ about his resignation.
Simon Hart, the MP for South Pembrokeshire and Carmarthen West, made the outburst on Twitter following the resignation of Chris Green, the Parlamentary Private Secretary to Transport Secretary Chris Grayling.
Mr Green Tweeted a copy of his resignation letter, saying: “I have handed in my resignation to the PM as PPS. Brexit must mean Brexit.”
Mr Hart replied to the Tweet saying: “Your a pps Chris. It is not relevant and nobody gives a fuck. Apart from me obviously.”
Mr Green replied to the comment only with a sarcastic correction, saying ‘you’re*’.
When challenged by Simon Clarke MP, who called the message ‘poor form’, Mr Hart defended his actions, saying: “The stakes are high, and destabilisation (however honourable the motives) ultimately self defeating. It’s also incredibly frustrating to those of us who have remained silent on these issues for so long.”
Tensions are running high in the Conservative party following the resignations of Boris Johnson and David Davis yesterday, over concerns of the way the Prime Minister is handling Brexit.
Earlier in the day, Mr Hart said: “Whilst everybody calls for Theresa May’s head its worth remembering that it’s David Davis who has actually failed here. Over 2 years as Brexit Sec and what’s to show for it?
“It also seems that Davis resigning (2 days after signing up to way forward) has hugely increased chances of brexit never happening. Remainers could now support vote on customs union….? Ironic pat on back for architects of this shit show..”
