Many thanks to all the courageous supporters who stood up for Brexit in all weathers to ensure that 4 democratic mandates to leave the EU - 2016 Referendum, 2017 GE, 2019 Europeans and #GE2019 - are honoured. Great to be able to thank them with @andreajenkyns and @JackLopresti. https://t.co/LUHYRYUM3E — PolitiTweet.org

Delighted that the #WithdrawalAgreementBill has passed its Second Reading by 358 votes to 234, despite being opposed by @UKLabour who still cannot accept four democratic verdicts. Looking forward to supporting the Bill through its remaining stages so that we can #GetBrexitDone! — PolitiTweet.org

Since 2016, the British people have clearly and decisively stated their wish to Leave the EU four times. It is a democratic imperative that we honour those wishes, so I am delighted to be voting for the Withdrawal Agreement Bill in the @HouseofCommons today. https://t.co/u4V6LZ7yG5 — PolitiTweet.org

I asked @BorisJohnson to guarantee that the allocation of fishing resources will not be a bargaining chip in negotiations, but rather that we will become a normal, independent maritime nation, negotiating annual, reciprocal arrangements with our neighbours for mutual advantage. https://t.co/c1UFJ0ma72 — PolitiTweet.org

“Loyalty to party comes second to an older loyalty, to constitutional freedom...When last Thursday Labour voters had decided to vote again for Brexit, they put their trust in the leader who, heart and soul, backed this goal too” https://t.co/FG0Wy5fhZj — PolitiTweet.org

“For too long in this country, centrist politicians and media commentators described the referendum as ‘divisive’, as though that were a negative concept. ‘Decisive’ is the correct term.” https://t.co/ELLWWGtzas — PolitiTweet.org

“The quantity of all resources consumed per person in Britain...fell by a third between 2000 and 2017, from 12.5 tonnes to 8.5 tonnes. That’s a faster decline than the increase in the number of people, so it means fewer resources consumed overall.” https://t.co/Tb26NQRLt2 — PolitiTweet.org

Great piece by @KarenH777. “I resent Labour fetishising my immigrant status and being told that immigrants are helpless children who need saving from the big, bad Tories and Brexit. Aspirational immigrants don’t want saving, or handouts.” https://t.co/MVcktbC8kZ — PolitiTweet.org

“Corbyn and Drakeford’s Labour are on the wrong side of a cultural realignment...When Johnson refers to Islington-based Labour politicians who “sneer at your values and ignore your votes”, Brexitland knows exactly what he means.” https://t.co/UDbdk29gzt — PolitiTweet.org

Interesting piece by @JGForsyth om @BorisJohnson’s ambitious plan for Government. “It will have shown how the 21st-century economy can be made to work for every part of a western country; it will have demonstrated how to revive places that feel overlooked“ https://t.co/T7qRurMq2a — PolitiTweet.org

Thoughtful analysis from @CJCHowarth. “There are 34 seats where the Brexit Party vote was larger than the margin of Conservative Party loss. In other words, 34 Labour MPs have survived thanks to Nigel Farage.” https://t.co/f9kQk4ZZIM — PolitiTweet.org

Wise words from Roger Bootle. "You don’t promote economic growth in formerly depressed regions by simply accepting the job- and prosperity-destroying regulatory regime imposed by the EU. The EU is a zone of comparative economic failure." https://t.co/fl6sZ360ir — PolitiTweet.org

Great turnout at Ellesmere Branch Christmas lunch, celebrating a record 35,444 votes, a record 62% vote share & a record majority of 22,949 in North Shropshire. Good to be able to thank my agent @NickBardsley10. https://t.co/A9j3nTiimy — PolitiTweet.org

Interesting historical perspective on @BorisJohnson’s victory by Prof Robert Tombs. “Outside the EU, he can help deprived regions more effectively and he can bring down the cost of living by cutting unnecessary tariffs. He can now get Brexit done.” https://t.co/GugS6N0OUG — PolitiTweet.org

“A North London Remain clique had placed their own fanatical commitment to the EU above the electoral prospects of the Labour Party. The Labour Party was sacrificed on their altar to Brussels and now dozens of Labour seats have fallen to the Conservatives”https://t.co/8eCdvTA4fY — PolitiTweet.org

Charles Moore is spot on that the broad-based @Conservatives majority “is more, much more, than any other major European country can manage just now. It will make our forthcoming trade negotiations so much easier: we shall be united, the EU divided.” https://t.co/n6qPcbIRGy — PolitiTweet.org

Good to chair the 2nd meeting of the A41 Safety Campaign Group.

A huge thank you to everyone who voted to produce this tremendous map. Just enjoy looking at it! https://t.co/O4LDg3ySLe — PolitiTweet.org
