Capital gains tax increased by over 20% in a single year despite a slowdown in house prices and equity growth. Borrowing is now at its lowest since 2001, when Labour randomly decided to end Britain's budget surplus and send it down a spiral of gigantic deficits in the 7 years preceding the financial crisis against all economic widsom, exacerbating the crisis and causing public services cuts to be bigger than they'd have to be.

This will go down well in the voting polls I bet.

Why should have Soubry have been deselected, anyway? I mean, now the question is strictly a hypothetical one since she left the Conservative Party of her own accord, but what about Philip Davies with the horrendously sexist statements he has repeatedly made. I am pretty sure that is a far bigger problem than someone supporting the EU, whatever its flaws.
Because she's voting to remain in the EU at every step, while her constituency was heavily slanted towards leaving. Soft Brexit Tory Mps aren't suffering the same fate, because they're at least respecting the manifesto they stood on by words if not spirit.

Wrong angle, should have emphasised that its unfair to foist her on the Bangladeshis since she's never lived there.

Are you talking about the "Re-leavers" in particular? Because I could understand their desire to respect the results of the referendum, especially right after the referendum took place. On the other hand, since it has become increasingly clear that no satisfactory Brexit deal is likely, I have been increasingly leaning towards just revoking article 50 and remaining in the EU. Another sensible option would have been to accept May's Brexit deal as a reasonable compromise that would honor the will of the voters while avoiding the catastrophe of a no-deal Brexit, but unfortunately that failed. If Soubry opposed May's Brexit deal, then I would certainly have a problem with that stance, but if they deselected every Conservative MP who opposed May's deal, then about half or so of the Conservative MPs would be deselected, right? It would be a complete mess.
