My thoughts on the Prime Minister's Brexit statement:
I am pleased that the Prime Minister has confirmed that no second referendum or extension of Article 50 will take place.
Leaving the European Union is the most complex mandate in modern political history, and it is my hope that the Prime Minister and the EU can agree legally binding changes to the text of the Draft Withdrawal Agreement.
If the backstop is removed entirely, or at the very least, has an appropriate time limit placed on it, then I feel my colleagues in the house could support it.
We need to get this right. Not just for today, but also for our children and grandchildren.
