#Standup4UnitedKingdom


StandUp4UKAccording to today’s national newspapers David Davis who was our Governments chief negotiator for our departure from the EU from July 2016 until he resigned in July 2018 is now calling on the rest of his Cabinet colleagues to reject the one proposed Brexit plan that they all agreed to back in July at Chequers. The so called Chequers plan is the only agreement that has been accepted by the Cabinet after 2 years of his failures to get his own party to agree to a way forward on virtually any elements of our departure. Following David’s call it has been revealed that certain Cabinet members are seriously considering his call, Ruth Davidson is threatening to resign as leader of the Scottish Tories and Arlene Foster of the Irish DUP is threatening to force our nation to go for a ‘no deal’ approach which will clearly end the tentative peace situation in Northern Ireland and may lead to a return to Irish terrorism across the UK. Meanwhile the latest Brexit campaign under the hashtag #StandUp4Brexit is sharing a range of videos on YouTube by Jacob Rees-Mogg, Iain Duncan-Smith, Priti Patel, Steven Baker and this one by Boris Johnson on Facebook claiming that the Chequers agreement cannot be changed later so needs to be rejected now due to its many weaknesses. It seems clear that what we need as a nation is a commitment by politicians to stand up for our nation, irrespective of whether it is inside the EU or outside of it. It is no good for these pathetic politicians to place their own ideas and agendas at a higher level than the overall needs of the United Kingdom. Perhaps it is time for a campaign called #StandUp4UK to be established that instead of agreeing with the Chuck Chequers plan, calls for the binning Brexit, at least until a realistic set of ideas are established and the UK residents have had a chance to express their views on them!
