The fight against ratification continues
Peter Hoskin 3:14pmAccording to a new YouGov / Open Europe poll:

And the anti-ratification petition submitted to Downing Street by Neil O'Brien and Richard North continues apace. At the time of writing, it's picked up some 6,854 signatories. You can add your name here.
