I’m appalled that the Government is suspending Parliament in September. With the Brexit deadline around the corner, it means MPs won’t have time to pass laws to stop a no-deal Brexit or scrutinise the Government at one of the most critical times in our country’s history.
This is an outrage and undermines the very idea of democracy.
With just a few weeks before Brexit, we need politicians in Parliament, doing their jobs to make sure we leave the European Union in the best possible way for the sake of future generations.
That’s why I’ve joined the campaign calling for Boris Johnson not to suspend Parliament to ram through an undemocratic Brexit, which will do nothing to provide closure and bring the country back together.
This is the time for MPs to showcase bold and decisive leadership. I’d like to encourage everyone else in our area to sign the petition at Change.org/StopTheCoup
