Since the defeat of the May-Barnier agreement for the third time in March 2019, I have been the co-Chairman of the independent Alternative Arrangements Commission, working tirelessly on a set of proposals that all sides could agree on to replace the Northern Ireland Backstop.

I have always tried to do the best for my constituents. I have lived here for 29 years, and represented it as a Councillor or as MP for the last 21 years, 14 of that as MP.
