A number of constituents have written to me with a
campaign email entitled “ British jobs”
It expresses concern thus: “Research shows
that a no-deal Brexit would be bad for the economy…” but fails to then quote from or name the report
so it is impossible to comment further other than to recognise that every forecast
that has been produced indicating that leaving the EU would be bad for the UK
economy has been wrong. Or wildly wrong.
I seek to reflect the views of the majority of
constituents who voted to leave the EU. My postbag leaves me in no doubt that whilst
most are ready to see a us leave with a deal if one can been successfully
negotiated they are insistent that if such is not settled then we leave with no
deal or more accurately on WTO terms. I agree.
It is a farcical negotiating position to take no
deal off the table as a default position as it hands all advantage to the EU
during talks. So it has to stay if only for that reason. We may well have to
accept that outcome if the EU will not agree acceptable terms.
