To be fair, the swing in my constituency was massive, it's a Tory voting area. Half of the residents wouldn't have a clue who our MP is .. elected though he is, is he really? The answer is yes but I'm sure you know where I'm coming from..

With just 16 days to go and just over 400 hours in the EU left, British MEPs today had their redundancy meetings and group photographs.

Couldn’t have wished for a more inspiring team to run this democracy gauntlet with. Put here by millions of stubborn, democracy loving Brits - thank you.

Her Majesty The Queen has today signed the bill into law (royal assent), making it an Act of Parliament.
Now we wait for the European Parliament to pass their copy next week.The European Union Withdrawal Act 2019 is now on the statute book and effectively repeals the European Communities Act 1972. A significant chapter of British history is over. https://t.co/vzxPo1xFnj

Today's the day. Third world here we come!
the important question is are EHIC's still valid?
Been dining on Indian curry and Scottish whiskey tonight in celebration.
Well, here we ago. After decades of our journey on "ever closer union", Britain is about leave the EU after 47 years.
I got into this whole fight 13 years ago, when I first became politically aware and saw the main parties abandoning promises to give the British people the ultimate say as to whether powers were handed over to the EU with the Lisbon Treaty in 2007. From that moment on, I was determined and convinced that we had to leave given where this was heading. From being laughed at as fruitcakes, loonies and closet racists, to attending Ukip meetings in scruffy backrooms of hotels, to handing out thousands of leaflets for Vote Leave and then fighting a Parliament that never accepted leaving, what a hell of a political fight.
Countless politicians and people, many long dead, fought for Britain's independence from continental entanglement. From Sir Winston Churchill to The Earl Attlee, to Enoch Powell, Tony Benn, The Baroness Thatcher and Michael Foot - and many many others. From the thousands of Ukip, Better Off Out, Labour Leave, Trade Union, Brexit Party, Conservative Party members and volunteers who were laughed at and abused. For the millions of voters who voted in the referendum. Thank you.
And above all from me, thank you Nigel Farage.
