Rejected petition Remove Yvette Cooper from public office for mis-representing her constituent

More details

In 2016, the nation took part in the biggest show of democracy in the modern era, and the Normanton, Pontefract and Castleford constituency voted to leave the EU, with 60% of this area saying out. Yvette Cooper blocks any attempt by the government to secure a good Brexit, and tabled a motion that restricts spending on no-deal preparations. She is undermining her constituents and abusing her power, as well as the integrity of the UKs democracy.
