Some constituents have sent me a campaign email
entitled, “Immediate course of action.”
It sets out a number of scenarios following the
appointment of Boris Johnson as leader of the Conservative party and
Prime Minister and suggests the options available. It also makes obscure
reference to Mrs May having “purposely spiked the leaving process”. Whatever
else was wrong with that deal, her motivation was never as suggested here.
I see things very differently to the formulated
scenarios set out. We must allow Boris to form his government and then bring
the courage and leadership we so desperately need to find a way forward. He has
been plain speaking in his criteria for seeing Brexit happen and I firmly
believe he intends to follow that through to a conclusion – deal or no deal.
I will continue to support Boris as our best hope
of seeing us leave the EU and am ready for him to exercise his considerable
skill to that end. He must not and will not be tied down by anyone else’s
agenda.
