I'm grateful. Two observations, really. First of all, it's quite common in Westminster to debate issues and matters that relate to other countries. And so Westminster has debated, certainly in the past few years, the situation in Yemen, in Syria, just to give two examples where there is no influence at all for the UK Government and the UK Parliament. Having a direct influence or direct power does not mean that you have no right to debate an issue. 

Secondly and very briefly—I'm grateful to him for the intervention—I agree with him in terms of what he says about his party being a broad church. Will he then condemn the purges against the Conservative MPs who have been thrown out in the last few days?
