Commons ChamberI spend a great deal of time listening to people: people working on the shop floor in factories, people in small businesses, people who are worried about the future of their families.

Our proposals are a basis for agreement, and a basis for negotiation.
The right hon. Gentleman voted for an EU referendum, against his party whip at the time, and he voted for article 50. Why is he now so intent on frustrating Brexit and the will of the people?
