“I’ve been clear from the start that I will not look to frustrate the will of the people of this area. I did not vote with my party who opposed the triggering of Article 50 and I will fight to help get the best Brexit deal for Britain.”

“I campaigned and voted for Remain but I did so without any great enthusiasm for the EU. I have always felt that my party loses its critical faculties when it comes to the EU.”

“It would be ludicrous if the government, in what appears to be a zealous fixation on reducing migration at all costs, pulled us out of the EEA without due consideration of the security that these deals provide to British pensioners in Europe.”

“I am frequently frustrated by the EU and will always argue the case for reform to make it more decentralised and more accountable, but when it comes to a decision about being in or out I am clear that we have to be in, making the case for reform rather than walking away.”

“I have always argued the case for Remain. But I would like Britain to be in a radically reformed European Union not to go back to the status quo we had before – that would not answer any of the concerns people had.”

“The war on drugs has been a catastrophic failure... We criminalise thousands of people, blighting their careers ... When people buy cannabis from criminals, they have no idea what they are buying.”
