Brexit wrecker Dominic Grieve is facing deselection after losing a confidence vote held by his local Conservative association.
The Guardian reports:
The remain-supporting Conservative MP, Dominic Grieve, is facing deselection by his party after losing a confidence vote held by his local association by 182 to 131 votes.
The Conservative association in his Beaconsfield constituency said it no longer had confidence in the former attorney general after he put his case to members at a meeting on Friday.
And, while he remains MP for the Buckinghamshire seat for the time being, a meeting will soon be convened to discuss his future.
Grieve has been at the forefront of efforts to ensure that parliament has a significant influence over how Brexit is managed, with the prime minister struggling to force her deal through the Commons.
He is also a prominent Remainer and has called for a second referendum.

In the 2016 EU Referendum, Grieve's Beaconsfield constituency voted to leave the EU by a majority of 570 votes or 1.4%.
Hopefully, his deselection will set a precedent and more Brexit wrecking MPs will be deselected by their local associations.
One of the worst offenders is the Labour MP for Normanton, Pontefract and Castleford, Yvette Cooper. Another prominent Remainer who is failing to represent the views of her constituents.
In the 2016 EU referendum her constituency voted by a massive 69.3% to 30.7% majority to Leave the EU.
Despite such a large majority, she has interfered in the Brexit process to get leaving without a deal taken off the table.
