  • Veteran Eurosceptic Christopher Chope was even more scathing about May personally, asking the audience what word would best describe what he said was a turnaround in her position since her Lancaster House speech in 2017. "Betrayal, treachery, deceit, duplicity, dishonesty, incompetence,” he suggested. “But actually my favourite is chicanery. Because chicanery is defined as an abuse of dissension or subterfuge to achieve one’s purpose.” - Christopher Chope[4]
