[Liam Fox] failed to secure the substantial post-Brexit trade deals he promised - Tom Brake

Government divisions over what Brexit means are stoking tensions. The government and its Brextremists must swallow their pride and do the right thing for Ireland and the UK. Leaving the EU does not have to mean leaving the single market and customs union.

As each day goes by, it becomes clearer that the best deal for everyone is to stay in Europe. The people of the UK must be given a vote on the deal and an opportunity to exit from Brexit.

For the government to threaten to leave the EU with no deal, while boasting about not having a plan for that eventuality, is completely unacceptable.
