Dear Supporter,
The global pandemic caused by the Coronavirus means our country is in a serious crisis, along with the rest of the world. We will come through this difficult challenge. However, the decisions that are taken over the next few weeks will have a huge bearing on the health of Covid and non-Covid patients needing care, the mental health of the wider population, as well as the scale and speed of recovery. The social and economic impacts of this crisis are profound.
Incredibly, it's one year ago that we launched The Brexit Party. What a year it has been!
So much has happened. Firstly, thank you for your incredible support. The Brexit Party had a huge impact, rescuing Brexit, and forcing substantial change in the leadership of the Conservative Party, who then won a massive majority in the General Election.
There is much more to be done to change things for the good. I have been keen to praise the Prime Minister on things well done, such as on Brexit so far since the election.
However, there are big issues where I have been critical. Apart from HS2, the decision to proceed with the Chinese firm Huawei on our 5G network flies in the face of common sense. Our main security partners in the Five Eyes network are furious with us. The Coronavirus crisis has clearly already taught us that we must be much more self-dependent in our critical infrastructure and key supplies. Once this crisis is over there needs to be some serious debate about our relationship with China.
There are voices now suggesting that the Brexit negotiations should be extended beyond the end of the year. We need to be free completely of the EU so that, as we emerge from this crisis, we are free to make all of our commercial and trade decisions.
We are also very worried about our liabilities within the current Withdrawal Agreement. Our commitment to the European Investment Bank could, if the Euro collapses, leave us with huge financial losses running into tens of billions of pounds. Leaving the EU must mean ending this risk. The Brexit Party still has work to do.
We know that we can still have an impact on public opinion and positive change. Please do help us in this task by renewing your annual subscription to the party.
