I campaigned to remain in the EU but I accept that our side lost the referendum. I continue to believe that a ‘no-deal’ outcome would be harmful to this country, albeit that we are better prepared to mitigate it than we were in March, and I wish to avoid it.

Many people have contacted me about the prorogation of Parliament. Whilst I recognise that the decision is controversial, it is not, I believe, unlawful or unconstitutional and the use of words like “coup” or “dictatorship” is unjustified.

Last week I was pleased to be able to meet with everyone who took the time to travel up from Bromley as part of ‘The Time is Now’ lobby.

As many residents in Mottingham will already be aware, Lidl has recently submitted revised plans for the Porcupine site on Mottingham Road.  

I am delighted by today’s announcement that around £200 million will be made available to overhaul dangerous cladding on privately owned residential tower blocks, like that at Northpoint in Bromley.

Today’s result is particularly disappointing. I voted again for the Prime Minister’s deal for an orderly Brexit that respects the referendum result and importantly protects jobs and businesses.

In recent weeks I have received thousands of letters, emails and calls from constituents regarding Brexit.

This is the thirteenth Brexit update I have posted on my website since the Referendum took place.

Over recent weeks a number of local residents have contacted me about crime in London, including a recent spate of burglaries across Bromley and Chislehurst.

Quite understandably, many local residents continue to contact me regarding Brexit, and I am acutely aware that, whatever their point of view, people have deep and genuine concerns about the decisions we in Parliament will be taking over the coming weeks.
