-

I will be voting against the government’s proposals.

It is not a negotiated agreement, rather it is a political wish list which leaves too many unanswered questions; it ends freedom of movement and it will result in reduced trade and productivi­ty.

I cannot support the withdrawal plan – as both the UK and Scottish Government’s own assessment­s demonstrat­e, Scotland and its people will be poorer.

This entire Brexit process has been used by the UK Government to engage in a power grab from our Scottish Parliament. Principall­y, Scotland voted overwhelmi­ngly to stay in the EU and Scotland’s voice should be respected.
