UKIP is latest party in Stroud to select its candidate for the next General Election - and he has pointed to the Government’s recent Brexit plan as proof he needs to stand again.

The Eurosceptic party have re-adopted Stonehouse resident Glen Gogerly as their parliamentary pick for the Stroud constituency.

Mr Gogerly represented UKIP in last year's General Election and received 1.6% of the vote.

In a statement announcing the selection on Monday, July 16, Mr Gogerly criticised the Prime Minister’s recent Chequers agreement on Brexit, which has come under fire from Eurosceptics for proposing too close a relationship with the EU after the UK leaves.

"Events are showing that our predictions are sadly coming true - Theresa May and the Conservatives never had any intention of fully implementing the decision to Leave taken at the ballot box by a majority of the British people in the 2016 EU Referendum,” he said.

“At the next General Election the only party standing 100% for Brexit in Stroud will be UKIP.

“A vote for the Conservatives, Labour, the Lib Dems or the Greens will be a vote for Remain.

“I call upon all Leave voters in the Stroud Constituency, whichever party they may have previously supported, to back me and to help me back Britain and ensure that their will, as expressed in the EU Referendum, is implemented in full.”
