Delivering on Brexit
We have done everything we could to get Brexit done by 31 October. We worked extremely hard for a new deal and prepared extremely carefully for no deal.
The Prime Minister achieved what many said was impossible and negotiated a new deal which got rid of the backstop.
Sadly, while parliament did give a "second reading" to the bill which would put this deal into law, Parliament keeps moving the goalposts and voting again and again to delay.
Sadly it looks likely that those who have played every trick in the book to frustrate Brexit are likely to succeed in delaying it yet again, possibly until 31st January 2020.
This parliament cannot be allowed to waste the next three months as it has wasted the past three years. So we need an election as soon as possible.
We CANNOT afford to have this paralysis throughout 2020 – it will be a disaster for businesses, for jobs, for public services.
The country has to move on.
We NEED a functioning Parliament with a stable majority that can get back to work for you.
So next week the Prime Minister will do two things.
First, he will give Parliament a last chance to get Brexit done in the next couple of weeks.
Second, we will also have a vote on an election on 12 December, so we can get a new Parliament and government in place by Christmas.
If you vote for Boris Johnson and the Conservatives, then we will finally get Brexit done in January so the country can move on to focus on all your other priorities like the cost of living, the NHS and conserving our environment.
We will have a functioning Parliament working for you, without the confusion, indecision or arguments that have plagued the last three years.
If you vote for Jeremy Corbyn, the Liberal Democrats, the SNP or anyone else, then you will just get more of the same confusion, indecision and delay that we have had for the last three years. With the potential for most of 2020 spent having referendums on Brexit and Scotland.
That would be destructive beyond belief. It is time to move on and get Brexit done.
