Extend the transition period.
Rejected

What the petition asks
The government must seek to extend the transition period to protect the supply chain by removing a no-deal scenario and allow it to concentrate on the virus response, a more immediate and pressing issue.
I want Parliament to concentrate on the most pressing and immediate threats to the country by managing the response to the virus and maintaining an adequate supply chain.
Diverting attention to the Brexit issue is an unnecessary diversion, and courting no-deal is thoroughly irresponsible.
