North Solihull's MP speaks out on Brexit deal

ON a day of political turmoil Meriden MP Caroline Spelman has given her backing to the proposed Brexit deal announced by the Prime Minister.
Dame Caroline, who voted Remain in the 2016 referendum, waded into the debate about the terms of the draft agreement that the Government had reached with Brussels.
The proposals have prompted a flurry of resignations from the Conservative frontbench and mounting speculation that Theresa May could face a vote of confidence within days.
But as Tory colleagues condemned the deal, Dame Caroline tweeted that it was a better option than no deal at all, which she argued would cause "great uncertainty".
"This deal will help protect jobs in our region which exports principally to the EU," she said.
"I respect the huge effort made by the PM and fully support the deal she has secured to deliver Brexit."
