Rory Stewart will later today ask his constituents to 'back the Brexit deal'.

The Penrith and the Border MP is hosting a public meeting at Newton Rigg where he'll argue that the Prime Minister's plan gives the country the best of both worlds.

He is currently the Minister of State at the Ministry of Justice with responsibility for prisons, probation and sentencing and has been supportive of Theresa May's position since the Brexit deal was announced.
