"Mr President, after the flurry of activity yesterday over the Prime Minister’s deal, many in my constituency are asking: what was it all about? Having read the draft agreement, we see that the renegotiation of our relationship with the EU amounts to little more than a choreographed talks process, a faux battle, a smoke-and-mirrors charade that has resulted in little more than the status quo: I am saddened to say, a failure of our Prime Minister to stand up for our United Kingdom.
Treaty change and retaking control over our laws has disappeared, and a promise to return control over our borders has been watered down to a benefit curb that has to be agreed by Brussels. The ever-present issue of the cost of membership has not even been addressed – a cost estimated by the Office for Budget Responsibility to rise by a further EUR 3 billion in 2020. I am delighted that the democratic process will now take control. I look forward to a frank and honest debate over our relationship with the European Union."@en1
