Campaign reply - “Immediate course of action.”



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.
