NORTH Wiltshire MP James Gray has written to constituents with his view on the Brexit negotiations.

Mr Gray confirmed that he will not support any extension to Article 50, blasted Remainer "scaremongers" trying to defer the UK's exit from the EU, and stated that he won't support moves to outlaw leaving with no deal.

He said: "There is one thing on which people on all sides of the great Brexit debate can agree – we wish that it was all over. We’ve had enough of the interminable and internal Brexit squabbling.

"Businesses are of course being badly affected too- not by Brexit, but by uncertainty about what it will all look like. Some people are stockpiling, others making all kinds of contingency plans, most of which we hope will turn out to have been quite unnecessary.

"European negotiations always run right up to the wire. I am sure that that is what will happen this time too."

"If we don’t agree a deal, then we will leave with no deal. Pretty straightforward, I would say. And in my view a great deal less scary than some of the ‘Remainer’ scaremongers would have you believe."

He went on to describe how the quiet before the start of discussions in the House of Commons being like "the eerie silence which fell across the First World War battlefields for an hour or so before the main assaults" and compared this stage of Brexit to "an anticipation-filled silence before the great storm."
