I am angry & disappointed in both the UK Government & local Leaders in South Yorkshire in their lack of clarity on what it will take for our area to come out of Tier 3 lockdown, not good enough for

to ask for “Exit Criteria” now after taking us all into Tier 3 lockdown
Today I attended the first meeting of the cross-party UK-EU Friendship Group.
As a group, we’ll fight to maintain the closest possible relationship after Brexit.
And whilst we will leave the EU on January 31st, our friendships will always endure 🇪🇺🇬🇧
