I’ve a confession to make. Post-referendum I didn’t care that much if we left the EU - it’s nowhere near perfect. Now I realise the damage it will cause. Some will be short-term, hitting the poorest hardest, some, in terms of global status, we will never completely recover from.

Doesn't change the fact that it was known and researched, it was out there. So the point is rather that you as a person didn't know. Why did you campaign on something before engaging with it?

We still don’t know what the consequences are going to be. It’s an emerging picture.

We stand by our statement. You are searching for some kind of political absolution but unfortunately, it was and is still your job to informed of the outcomes of a national decision and to not be so flippant with statements like "I didn't care that much". You had a duty to care.

I’m being honest. There are important issues other than Brexit. I am a Home Affairs spokesperson, not a Brexit spokesperson. There are matters for which I am responsible and they do not include the entirety of Brexit. Taking entrenched positions encourages no one.
-
Whilst fair to the point of your home affairs role, and that there are other issues, few are so extensive. As a constituency representative don’t you need to care about issues that affect every one of them?
