Brexit won’t fix Britain’s burning issues

Two and a half years ago, on the steps of Downing Street, the Prime Minister promised to tackle society’s burning injustices.

My constituents elected me to fight for a People’s Vote and to keep our Union together.

We will not stand idly by while the Conservatives destroy our economy, our NHS, our peace and security.

The Government is trying to force Theresa May’s Brexit deal through Parliament – it’s not working.
