Actually found myself in agreement with much of that - the sidebar about the ridiculousness of Philip Hammond's claim after the vote that Britain would be safer is spot on.
I watched Hilary Benn's speech and my thoughts were the same as Oborne's that it didn't actually say anything and showed very little understanding of the complexities of the situation. All he said in essence was "IS are bad people" (which no-one is disputing) but he didn't explain in any way how bombing Syria was going to do anything useful about that.
As for Farage and UKIP, hopefully their little 15 minutes of fame are on the wane.
