Update from Priti Patel MP

Priti Patel MP was elected on a platform of delivering Brexit and she has continued to respect her mandate by standing up for Britain and for honouring the result of the 2016 referendum. She has consistently voted against any proposals that would water down Brexit, including the Withdrawal Agreement, which was not Brexit at all. She continues to actively campaign for Brexit through speeches, articles and media appearances,

In recent weeks Priti has been working locally on a number of key issues across the Witham constituency, including planning, infrastructure, social services and the campaign to save our libraries. She continues to work with local schools on all matters relating to education and is working with local schools in advance of the launch of her annual Get Witham Reading campaign, which is in its eighth year.
