Return to Parliament - Brexit Revisited

As the UK Parliament returns today, as well as Coronavirus and the economy on the agenda, Brexit will once again also be a huge concern.  Over the summer the negotiations between the UK and EU on future trade and co-operation seem to have stalled – meaning we risk having no agreements in place with the EU when the Brexit transition period runs out at the end of December.  A “no deal” or even a basic deal would cause massive problems for jobs and security. 
​
In the meantime, the UK government continues to push through Brexit legislation which many believe risks undermining food standards and grabs powers for Westminster which should be with the Scottish Parliament.

I will, of course, continue to oppose any dilution of food standards and any ‘power grab’ on the Scottish Parliament.
