The Queen’s Speech made it clear John. Johnson’s
right-wing government is determined to push through Brexit legislation
- no matter what.
Today, Boris Johnson will take his
reckless Withdrawal Agreement to MPs. It will be rushed
through to meet the arbitrary deadline of January 31st.
Johnson and his government don't care how it will affect
British people, or how the worst off in our society will be hit
hardest. They just want to push Brexit through, whatever the
cost.
A harmful Brexit deal isn’t the only plan they
have which will irreparably damage our country. Among the
announcements in the Queen’s Speech are plans to:
- Set a legal deadline to end the ‘transition period’
with the EU in December 2020 - with or without a trade
deal
-
Scrap freedom of movement and introduce a
discriminatory points-based immigration system
- Require photo ID to vote, disenfranchising
thousands if not millions of British people
This is a disgrace John. The Conservatives
are already running roughshod over our democracy and our human rights.
Labour won’t hold the Conservatives to account.
They’re too busy fighting amongst themselves.
Only the
Liberal Democrats can take on this Conservative government,
before they do irreversible damage to our country.
This will be the fight of our lives John. Will you
register as a supporter and help us take on the Tories?
Labour will spend the next three months
fighting amongst themselves. The Liberal Democrats will spend
those months working hard to take the fight to the Conservatives and
continuing to take our positive, liberal, internationalist message to
the country.
We are the real opposition to this
right-wing Brexit government John, which means we have a lot
of work to do. With you on board, we can continue hold Boris Johnson
and his government to account.
