Dear Extinction Rebellion, Thank you for cutting down a tree to print posters which you attach to the office using single use plastic tape. They have filled a bin bag which will need to be picked up by a big diesel truck. This is not helping the Environment. Sheryll

Having heard the PM’s Withdrawal Agreement speech I confirm I will not support this deal. I stood for election on a promise that no deal was better than a bad deal. This is a terrible deal. We should now, after 3 years, honour the public vote we have had and leave the EU.

Bombshell from Macron who suggests if EU doesn't get what it wants on fishing it'll force UK into backstop customs union. WA says fisheries deal should be done by July 2020 so coincides with decision on whether to trigger backstop. Brexiteer MPs' worst nightmare about May's deal.

🐟 The current fishing arrangement with the EU works only for the EU. The CFP has devastated our coastal communities. The Political declaration is not binding. It's a vague and anything in it can be negotiated away. That’s why I wanted a cast iron guarantee from the PM in writing.
