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.
