Sir Bill Cash stunned SNP MP Pete Wishart when he shut down his argument blaming Nigel Farage for Brexit by pointing all the way back to opponents of John Major’s Maastricht Treaty

The Express reports: “SNP MP Pete Wishart was shocked when Tory Brexiteer Sir William Cash shot down his anti-Brexit argument in Parliament. Mr Wishart told the House that Nigel Farage and his like were to blame for the anti-EU sentiment in the Conservative Party now. However, Sir Bill pointed all the way back to the implementation of the Maastricht Treaty and those who opposed it back then.
Mr Wishart snapped: “I’m so grateful to the High Priest of hard Brexiteers. The reason that the UKIP and Farages, whatever incarnation we’re on now, have disappeared is because they’ve become the Conservative Party.
“Their whole agenda has been accepted and subsumed into the Conservative Party.
“It is almost impossible to tell the modern Conservative Party apart from the UKIP and Farages of the past.”
Sir Bill shot back: “The Maastricht rebellion took place in 1992, 1993, long before either UKIP or the Brexit Party was ever really thought of.” Read more here.
