Today I‘ve written an open letter to my constituents, explaining why I took the difficult decision to resign as a Government Minister. It’s been an honour to represent the business community but I must do what I think is best for Watford and the UK
In the event of a no deal Brexit actually happening, I am very concerned that the economy may take 5 to 10 years to adjust to the new reality, during which time jobs may be lost and livelihoods ruined. I fear that the British people, and my constituents, would be part of a giant economic experiment that is championed by a small minority of the economics profession, a small minority of the Conservative Party, and a small minority of the country.
