This letter from Joanna Minchin. Ed


I am perplexed as to why the Tory Government are not willing to extend the transition period for their discussions over Brexit? Surely it is in everyone’s interest to reach a deal?

We are at a critical time for our country. While the Government is occupied with Covid-19, the end of the Brexit transition period is drawing nearer.

There is now less than one month for the UK and the EU to agree an extension.

Heading towards a No Deal Brexit
If no agreement is reached, we risk a No Deal Brexit that would alter our economy, way of life, and NHS forever. 

We should tackle one problem at a time. We need to extend the transition period.
