I have been contacted by some constituents asking me to
support an extension to the transition period for Brexit.
It will probably be of no surprise that I do not support
this.
I find the statement that ‘the majority of people support an
extension’ to be questionable at best.
Certainly that is not my experience when talking to
constituents in St Austell and Newquay.
I would suggest that the majority of people want to see us
Get Brexit Done as soon as possible, so we can get through the transition
period and move forward as an independent nation. In fact this was the central
policy of our party in the election just a few months ago where we won a
resounding majority.
At that election I made a commitment to the voters of our
constituency that I would work to ensure we left the EU on time with no delays.
I intend to honour that commitment to the 31,273 people who voted for me.
I will continue to do all I can to support us getting
through Brexit and beyond with a positive outcome that will be in the national
interest.
