The failure of David Cameron’s attempted renegotiation highlights spectacularly just how big a problem has developed, but we should not now be pulling out all together and I will be opposing the Second Reading of the Bill”.

Catherine West – “In Hornsey and Wood Green we secured the highest remain vote in the UK with 81.5 per cent. The best way I can represent my constituents and indeed protect our national interest is to vote against invoking Article 50,” she said in a statement on her website.
