      He’s a fairly high profile Tory backbencher and respected enough for his fellow Tories to have elected him as chair of the defence select committee.

      He’s not going to change government policy but the fact Tories like him will speak out on this is the sort of thing that will hopefully lower the bar to other sensible Tories starting to find their voices again. It’s always easier putting your head above the parapet if someone else has done it first.
