I believe we should leave the EU as soon as possible to fulfill the democratic instruction given to us by the British people. I therefore fully support the Prime Minister's intention that we leave as soon as possible.
To do otherwise would shake the very foundations of our democracy.
We were all told that the referendum result would be respected, both Labour and the Conservatives ran on a manifesto commitment to do just that. If we betray that trust, then we jeopardise faith in our entire political establishment - a faith that is already being tested to the limit.
The vote to leave the EU was a vote for change. Now it's time for that change to happen. We will leave the EU. And we won't wait to deliver on what that really matters to our community in Croydon: the NHS, schools and tackling crime. We will realise the benefits of Brexit and get our country back on the road to a brighter future.
