I saw recently that an influential figure in #UKLaɓour had died. This was a man called #johnmills . He was around a long time. His brother was a lawyer who worked for #silvioberlusconi . #johnmills was a long term #eurosceptic who founded the #commonmarketsafeguardscommittee many of whose supporters later reconciled themselves with the #eu - notably #gordonbrown . #johnmills never did and was one of those fronted the #leavecampaign in 2016 - I suspect however that he was a #softbrexiteer.
