The only surprise in the latest poll is that 23% of Conservative Party members support the Withdrawal Agreement. Why on earth would anyone support it? The People’s vote in 2016 decided to leave, confirmed by the results of the 2017 General Election, so we should do just that.

Brexit is huge opportunity to cut food miles, grow more of our food, land more of our fish & to build bigger food processing industries close to good agr supply. The Sec of State must stop trying to delay Brexit & put through legislation that'll be good for UK farming & fishing.

Mr Gove used to be in favour of Leave. Now he puts out the worst kind of Project Fear nonsense and seeks to prevent us leaving for at least another 2 years and maybe double that. http://johnredwoodsdiary.com/2019/01/04/no-mr-gove-the-withdrawal-agreement-is-not-a-good-idea-on-any-count/ …

The debate about how many people to invite in to our country and who should have a work permit is relevant to the housing issue. I favour sensible levels of inward migration with better controls over numbers seeking low paid employment.

The problem of UK housing has been caused by demand outstripping supply. The big increase in the number of people coming to our country in recent years has added to the demand, with the add'n of more than 250,000 people a year requiring substantial increases in housing provision.

There is also a recent European Court judgement which says that UK payments to secure sufficient electrical power under the capacity scheme are illegal subsidies. The UK had to go this route to comply with all the other power generation and environmental laws from the EU .

Whilst the EU has at last recognised that throwing dead fish back into the sea is bad for the fish, for the fishing industry & for the environment, their remedy threatens to bankrupt some small boat businesses by stopping them fishing altogether if there is too much bycatch.

Two recent decisions of the EU should act as a warning of the damage the EU could do if we stay in under the Withdrawal Agreement or by some other device to thwart the result of the People’s vote. http://johnredwoodsdiary.com/2019/01/01/the-eu-reminds-us-what-staying-would-be-like/ …

I see some are wrongly suggesting I am wobbling over voting against the Withdrawal Agreement. They are mischief making & should read my blogs to understand why I oppose it. They would then see I have several fundamental objections which cannot be fixed by tweaks or reassurances.

2019 should be a great year for all who believe in UK democracy. It is the year when Parliament should implement the decision of the People’s vote in 2016. March 30th should be Independence Day. From that day onward we need to be in control of our money, our laws and our borders.

I would like to thank all those who have sent me kind messages on the award of a knighthood. It is a privilege to serve as Wokingham’s MP. I've also enjoyed offering some help to Variety, the children’s charity, who do such good work for our community. http://johnredwoodsdiary.com/2018/12/29/new-years-honours/ …

In the New Year the details of how Councils can apply for additional money to help modernise or improve town centres will be published. I have told Wokingham Borough of the opportunity to bid for funds, and will also contact West Berkshire to remind them.

The Withdrawal Agreement is unbelievably bad for the UK & a great one for the EU. It is not a deal as it does not offer the UK any of the things the PM said she wanted. It's an invitation to much more uncertainty & more talks on worse terms for the UK. http://johnredwoodsdiary.com/2018/12/27/8-things-wrong-with-the-withdrawal-agreement/ …

Some in Govt wrongly worry that Brexit could damage our car industry. Latest sales figures show there is plenty of damage being done by EU regulations, UK taxes and a credit squeeze before we leave. Why doesn’t any of this worry them? Why don’t they do something to stop it?

In other words a WTO Brexit will also include a no. of important agreements to ensure planes will fly, trucks will move & the trade will flow after March 29. There'll be the added bonus that we can stop all the groundhog day debates & show the absurdity of these scare stories.
