I campaigned to remain in the EU but I accept that our side lost the referendum. I continue to believe that a ‘no-deal’ outcome would be harmful to this country, albeit that we are better prepared to mitigate it than we were in March, and I wish to avoid it.
Many people have contacted me about the prorogation of Parliament. Whilst I recognise that the decision is controversial, it is not, I believe, unlawful or unconstitutional and the use of words like “coup” or “dictatorship” is unjustified.
I am delighted by today’s announcement that around £200 million will be made available to overhaul dangerous cladding on privately owned residential tower blocks, like that at Northpoint in Bromley.
Today’s result is particularly disappointing. I voted again for the Prime Minister’s deal for an orderly Brexit that respects the referendum result and importantly protects jobs and businesses.
Over recent weeks a number of local residents have contacted me about crime in London, including a recent spate of burglaries across Bromley and Chislehurst.
