Stephen McPartland, Member of Parliament for Stevenage, is shocked at the new low Project Fear has reached with today’s threats of an emergency punishment Brexit Budget.
Stephen McPartland MP said,“I will not vote for such a ridiculous punishment Brexit Budget and neither will most of my colleagues, so it will have to be voted through by the Labour Party and we know they are incapable of making a decision or pretty much anything at the moment. It is never going to happen and it is sad that Project Fear continues to find new lows.
“I warned back in February that "Britain can stand alone outside of Europe, but we will not have the chance. Project Fear will be launched this weekend and if we dare to vote to leave, then we will be told we face mass unemployment, surging interest rates, increasing prices, rapid inflation and increased risk of terrorist attacks."
“I am saddened I was right, but I am shocked at how Project Fear manages to keep reaching new lows, frightening pensioners, patients, public sector workers, home owners, students and anyone who dares to think that we are a great country and as the sixth largest economy can stand on our own two feet in the world. Quite simply, whichever way you vote in the referendum is your choice and neither side can tell you what is really going to happen, but the companies in Stevenage will still be here, employing local people, who will buy from the shops and pay taxes to keep the economy going and fund our public services. Neither side has the answers, as no one ever knows what the future will hold – this is your choice and you must decide, but I promise you and your family, that whatever the result is - I will stand up and fight for the best deal for Stevenage.
"I always voted for a referendum on our membership of the European Union, because I believe in choice. I used my vote in Parliament to help deliver that referendum and I am proud it is now up to the British people to decide how they will vote."
