The tale of Anna and Esther

Yesterday saw a march demanding a peoples's vote on the Brexit deal. It is interesting to note that 2 of the most vocal proponents on the opposite of the debate both had the same back ground in the media. Keen remainer Anna Soubry started out as a journalist for Central Television before gaining UK wide exposure on This Morning. She moved into politics in 2010 winning the seat Broxtree for the Conservatives. After a short ministerial career Soubry found herself on the back benches. However she has become one of the leading oppoents against Brexit going so far as resigning the Consertive whip and joining The Independent Group which is mainly made up of former Labour MPs. On the other end debate is Esther Mcvey. Having a career in the media that saw her presenting programmes like GMTV and How Do They Do That? McVey like Souby became a Conservative MP in 2010 but lost her seat five years later. However thanks to the snap General Election of 2017 McVey was back as a MP as she was selected to the safe seat of Tatton and she rose to the position of Work and Pensions Secretary however she resigned that in protest at Prime Minister's Theresa May Brexit plans. Mcvey is member of Hard Brexit faction European Research Group (ERG) whose members include Jacob Rees-Mogg, Iain Duncan Smith and Boris Johnson.  In a doubly ironic twist McVe'ys predecessor as Tatton MP is George Osborne who moved into the media becoming the editor of London's Evening Standard newspaper which under Osborne editorship has been very anti Brexit.
