Watford MP Richard Harrington hands in Resignation Letter to Parliament

Soon after Article 50 was signed, Theresa May called for an Election for June 8th, and Richard believes she has made the right decision.

Today I‘ve written an open letter to my constituents, explaining why I took the difficult decision to resign as a Government Minister. It’s been an honour to represent the business community but I must do what I think is best for Watford and the UK

In the event of a no deal Brexit actually happening, I am very concerned that the economy may take 5 to 10 years to adjust to the new reality, during which time jobs may be lost and livelihoods ruined. I fear that the British people, and my constituents, would be part of a giant economic experiment that is championed by a small minority of the economics profession, a small minority of the Conservative Party, and a small minority of the country.
