I also thank the prime minister for
an advance copy of his statement.
He has renegotiated the withdrawal
agreement and made it even worse.
– Yes.
This government cannot be trusted
and these benches will not be duped.
– Hear hear.
The message, Mr Speaker, is clear:
this deal is not good for jobs,
damaging for our industry and a threat
to our environment and our natural world.
It's not a good deal for our country,
and future generations will feel the impact.
It should be voted down today
by this House today.
Mr Speaker, I also totally understand
the frustration and the fatigue
across the country and in this House,
but we simply cannot vote for a deal
that is even worse than the one
that the House rejected three times.
The government’s own economic analysis
shows that this deal would make
the poorest regions even poorer
and cost each person in this country
over £2,000 per year.
If we vote for a deal that makes
our constituents poorer,
we are not likely to be forgiven
for doing that.
