Fear has dictated the behaviour of most MPs these last 3 years. Primarily, fear of telling the truth - that Brexit is a con, that its advocates are largely self-interested liars - because this is perceived to be tantamount to calling the electorate stupid. Fear of public anger. >

But we can all see which MPs are acting with courage and integrity, because they are the ones telling the truth about this, fighting against the greatest con of the modern age, in spite of the political consequences.

Moreover, this climate of fear has been carefully nurtured by the populists driving the Brexit project with their false 'will of the people' doctrine, their betrayal myths, inflammatory language, pitting so-called ordinary people against a fake 'elite'.
