Johnny Mercer was the polar opposite of &#;gracious in defeat&#; and this most cordial response said it best
We try not to watch too much of Conservative MP Johnny Mercer, who manages the rare trick of being so awful it makes you nostalgic for Dominic Raab.
But in this case we&#;ll make an exception, after his response to Labour&#;s biggest ever by-election victory was the polar opposite of gracious in defeat.

Johnny Mercer is, above all else, a graceless, arrogant, patronising, charmless, vicious little shit. Not a single genuinely-held belief in his entire body. I wouldn’t trus
Johnny Mercer - Hansard - -Absolutely; I should be delighted to have a look at that.
In the current political landscape, I fear that the can of veterans care has received another good punt down the road in the wake of Brexit. I strongly welcome and support the new Prime Minster, who is supremely equipped to tackle a job which, from my position, looks almost impossible—that of managing my party and granulating the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union. I could not wish her more strength to her arm in these challenges, and I will support her to a fault, as she well knows. I believe that we achieve nothing on our own in politics, and the strength to tackle the challenges ahead is in the team on the Conservative Benches.
However, I must confess myself to be disappointed at first sight on this single issue. In July I challenged the Prime Minister in the leadership campaign, in front of my entire party, about her commitment to this agenda and her willingness to look at a new Government Department—or something similar—to finally match our words with our deeds when it comes to the million veterans in this country. Her response was that she was not keen to restructure
We Were Warriors
April 12,Afghanistan was not my war. I spent mine in the jungles of Indochina so I have had little idea of what things might have been like for our more recent veterans. This account provides that insight. No piece of writing can ever present the full sensory experience of being in combat to those who have not had the experience, for those of us who have our own experience fills in the intangibles so we get it!
It is an unpretentious account. Interestingly, Mercer like so many others who seek their place in the services, had a difficult childhood. Such was also the case for me. So, the account of his early days and the impact those experiences had on him resonated with me as did his account of what the army did for him, to help over ride much of that unfortunate inheritance. In my case also the army provided a sense of purpose, competence and belonging that were lacking in my life.
His accounts of combat have been selective, a whole swathe that involved special operations has been omitted, more's the pity. I would have liked to hear about those experiences also. Nonethe less there was enough to get the picture.
