Mr Roughton's argument involves a subtle sleight of hand.
Many on the loyal left were quietly hoping that the government would use a sleight of hand to deny MPs the chance to protest.
But the pulling of them apart and pushing them together again was only a sleight-of-hand trick.
No sleight of hand required, the special pen does all the work for you !
His sleight of hand magic has won him numerous awards all over the country.
