Campaign response - “Rescind article 50.”


A few constituents have contacted me with a campaign email entitled “Rescind article 50.”

It also suggests voting against the deal and against no deal.

In other words vote to remain in the EU.

As someone who not only represents a constituency which voted almost 2-1 to leave, but was also re-elected in 2017 on a very strong commitment to deliver Brexit. This is not something I would ever contemplate.

I respect that there are some who do not wish us to leave the EU but I believe that it is essential that we respect the view of the majority, both locally and nationally, and leave the EU
