MPs will not get away with a Euro betrayal

-

TOPPING MPs’ pay sounds like an excellent way to focus the minds of the political classes who have been far too intent on blocking Brexit to listen to the will of the people.

No wonder respondent­s to the ComRes poll backed stopping salaries by two-to-one, and eight in 10 of them did not feel that the politician­s understand the views of ordinary people.

Over the past week the country has been astounded at the ridiculous games being played in Parliament.

It is clear from the poll that the only politician to come out with her dignity and respect intact is the Prime Minister, Theresa May.

But instead of listening to voters, we reveal today that MPs and peers are instead preparing the greatest of betrayals – by either forcing a second referendum as a bid to remain in the EU or making the UK live under Brussels’ rule in a customs union without the ability to have free trade deals.

Once again our poll is clear. People are opposed to a second referendum, remaining in the EU, and to another general election.

A betrayal of British democracy and a reversal of Brexit or settling for Brino (Brexit in name only) will never be forgiven.

They may not lose their salaries immediatel­y but a large number of our MPs could be looking for new jobs after voters deliver their verdict at the next election.
