We're out - and now it's time to forge ahead, says Boston and Skegness MP

The streets of Skegness, which as part of East Lindsey saw 70% of voters wanting to 'leave', were almost deserted as the Clock Tower struck 11pm, marking the end of an era.

A police car circled the roundabout just in case the crowds of New Year's Eve turned out to mark the historic occasion - but the usual Friday night crowd in nearby pubs and clubs chose to stay indoors.

Mr Warman commented: "Britain has left the European Union. Now we have the chance to make our own way in the world, forging our own trade deals, making our own decisions on everything from immigration to spending – and above all moving beyond the political paralysis of the last three years.

"However people voted, the clear direction of travel and the stability of government can only be a good thing. It is the dithering and delaying that has been most damaging, and now we are able to make the most out of major investment in Boston, Skegness and our rural areas. That means making sure we see investment into the health service, into policing, education, flood defence and more."
