It’s good that the Government has a common approach to #Brexit; we needed that before triggering Article 50. Now we need a strategy to get the best outcome for our country. That’s the only way to reunify it...
1. We need to #SuspendA50 to give us time to do the job of negotiating a deal properly. For better or worse the EU affects almost every aspect our lives - from our health to our work to the air we breathe. A rushed job will be a bad job - for us & the EU
2. We also need to recognise how far & fast the EU is moving on issues that matter to us - like migration, which largely fuelled the vote to Leave
3. Once the Government can clearly define the options available to all of us, we need a new vote. The Govt’s proposal, IF the EU agrees to it, is neither one thing nor the other. It looks like the worst of both worlds. And it certainly isn’t one for which anybody knowingly voted
4. The new vote should be a choice between the deal that the Government negotiates to Leave, and a new deal to Remain
This government by cowardice isn’t taking us in a good direction. We are currently pursuing a fragile "least worst" option. This isn't in the best interests of our people or our country...
And it is our people's best interests - YOUR best interests - that need to be at the heart of an intelligent strategy to deliver a better future for us all - in or out of the EU.
