To all those MPs, @SteveBakerHW, @andreajenkyns, @patel4witham and others who are currently advertising that we need to #StandUp4Brexit I have a few questions…

There are barely 7 months left to brexit day (29/03/2019), how come there is still no certainty as to what form brexit will take?
Will there be a deal, if so what kind of deal?
Will we crash out, if so what will the consequences of crashing out be?

Have you researched this at all?
How can businesses or citizens plan for brexit if we don’t know what it will involve?
How have you let this level of uncertainty happen? Is this your idea of responsible governance?

How will brexit affect my standards of living? Ever since we decide to brexit prices have gone up… Including the prices of essential things such as food energy, petrol… Will these price rises get worse when we brexit?

Plus, housing prices are going down, will this continue?

And savings, I understand the Bank of England is buying euros to shore up the pound, people like Rees Mogg are setting up investment accounts in Ireland, John Redwood advised his clients to invest outside of the UK… Does this mean that my hard earned savings are at risk?

Will travelling abroad to the EU be more expensive?

As a person with pre-existing health conditions, how much extra will I have to pay for health insurance for travelling to Europe?

What about driving licences, I am told British driving licences will no longer be recognised in the EU, what are you doing about this?

These are just a few of the questions I would like answered and I would like them answered now because in eight months’ time apparently we will be leaving the EU!

It is all very well to appear in pretty messages spouting platitudes… But what I want as a citizen, as a person, as a freelancer, is FACTS and INFORMATION that I can rely on. And you’re not providing, are you?

So this is my last question, why not?
