E17 Big Brexit Weekender: The Results 

Thank you to all the Walthamstow residents who came to our workshop on the EU Withdrawal bill this weekend. This legislation returns to parliament on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week.

In 90 minutes residents not only discussed Walthamstow's priorities for this bill but also took votes on whether to support, oppose or abstain on multiple amendments to this legislation. At the end of this discussion, the key priorities for those who attended were support for staying in the EEA/single market, the people's vote/second referendum and for no hard border in Northern Ireland. I will therefore seek to support these proposals if they come up for votes in parliament next week. You can see some photos of this event and the outcomes here. If you would like to receive updates on Brexit and the outcomes of these debates as well as information as to what is happening in parliament please sign up directly on my website.

E17 Big Brexit Weekender: The EU Withdrawal Bill Returns to Parliament

The week beginning Monday 11th June will see the Lords amendments to the EU Withdrawal Bill return to the commons for consideration. The Lords have proposed amendments to this legislation in many different ways- including requiring the Government to negotiate continued membership of the European Economic Area, membership of the Customs Union, rights for refugees and the conditions under which we would leave the European Union.

With the Conservative Government so divided on this range of issues, the final shape of this legislation will be determined by how Labour MPs vote on whether to accept these amendments or not. Only if these amendments are accepted by the Commons will they become part of the legislation.

Ahead of this, on Sunday 10th June at 2pm I will be holding a 'Big Brexit Weekender' workshop for local residents to understand what is being proposed, what will happen in parliament and to give everyone an opportunity to feedback their views on these amendments to me ahead of these votes.
