Campaign reply - Britain's future is in your hands


A number of constituents have written to me with a campaign email “Britain's Future is in your hands”.

Key to the success on any proposed deal that comes before the house is that it must honour the result of the referendum. It must fulfil promises made in a meaningful way. That is why the earlier deal was so heavily defeated as it would have trapped us inside the EU with no escape other than on terms set by the EU. Never!

A deal that honours the referendum and gives us a clear passage out of the EU following transition will I am confident get support in the house.

Once we leave we will be free to negotiate our future relationship with the EU and countries globally.

These are difficult days and many have written expressing concern. I will do all I can as a backbencher to ensure we have Brexit that paves the route to the UK becoming an independent nation again.
