Dear John,

Boris Johnson’s words in Parliament last night were shocking because they showed him to be an amoral man, more than willing to say or do anything to get his way.

In politics, and everywhere else, we need to treat people with respect, even when we disagree. I want to listen to people’s views, not shout them down, and I want our political leaders to be the same. People have a right to their opinions and a right to be heard, and it is wrong that the prime minister only listens to a small circle and treats others so very poorly.

Now he wants a general election so he can tour the country enflaming prejudices, making scapegoats of the vulnerable and always and everywhere using fear as the central tactic of his campaign. It would be a deeply divisive election that could easily result in another hung parliament or give Johnson a majority with as little as a third of the vote so he can do whatever he wants to us.

We must not let that happen. If Johnson wants to ‘get Brexit done’ then he has to go back to the people with a clear offer and put that to a confirmatory referendum where we can settle the question of Brexit. No one pretends this will be easy but giving everyone the final say is the best and most democratic way of resolving this issue, creating a lasting settlement and allowing the divisions that scar our country to heal.

That's why we need your support to help us make our voices heard. It is your incredible generosity that has got us this far. But we've still got work to do. Please chip in now to help us secure a People's Vote.

I'll chip in £15  

Boris Johnson cannot be allowed to bully and threaten us any longer. Let's stand up for democracy together and secure a People's Vote.
