We are from different parties, each with their own histories and values. On many issues we don’t see eye to eye. On Brexit, however, we are united in our belief that we must put the interests of the people we represent above party.

The Brexit withdrawal agreement bears no resemblance to the false prospectus on which Brexit was sold.

The Prime Minister warns that the only choice is between her deal and no deal — but there is another way. MPs across the country need to ask whether this proposed deal is better than the one we currently have with the EU, and they must be sure that it will create a prosperous United Kingdom for their constituents.

If they cannot be certain, then Members of Parliament must reject this withdrawal agreement and instead ask the country to decide its future.

It is only right and democratic that the British people are given the chance to choose between quitting the EU, or staying in with the deal we already have.

That is why we, along with a growing number of our colleagues in Parliament, agree that the country must be given a People’s Vote, including the choice to stay in the European Union.

EDITOR'S REPLY

Dear MPs

YOU are, of course, right that the reality of Brexit bears little resemblance to the promises made to the British people. The choice now being presented is to either leave without a deal, or swallow the compromises of the Prime Minister’s agreement. But there is, as you say, a third option of holding another referendum. Impressive as your cross-party campaign is, I’m sure you know you don’t stand a chance unless you get the Labour Party fully signed up. That’s the only way to get the votes needed in the House of Commons. Again, over the weekend, Jeremy Corbyn refused to back a referendum — and when asked said he didn’t know which way he’d vote if there was one. Keeping the pressure on inside the Labour Party strikes me as the priority for now.

Trump is irrelevant

When Theresa May called Donald Trump to congratulate him on the mid-term elections, he became grumpy towards her regarding trade and Iran. Why is a British Prime Minister demeaning herself by calling Trump over a US mid-term election?

Trump has no class or decorum, and the world should just let him see out his tenure in office and then get real with the next President.

Poles deserve respect as long-time allies

As a Brit married to a Pole, I found Daniel Nowakowski’s rebuke of Jakub Krupa’s article saddening [“Britain owes a big debt to the Poles,” November 15]. However, Daniel needn’t worry that Jakub was speaking on his behalf. Using dziękuję — meaning I thank you — rather than the collective dziękujemy — we thank you — it should have been obvious that Jakub was speaking on his own behalf.

I’d like to offer my thanks to the Poles who fought with us after Britain entered the war in response to the invasion of Poland. It was an intervention that solidified Poland’s return as an independent country from 1918 to today, and I extend gratulacje (congratulations) for the centenary. Never has the traditional Polish song Sto lat! Sto lat! (100 Years) been more appropriate.
