Many of you have written to me with a campaign
email “The British people voted to leave “WITHOUT a deal.”
It sets out succinctly the legal position and one
that I am happy to largely endorse.
Looking back at the referendum campaign and the
last election, I made (as did the manifestos of the main political
parties) certain promises: to honour the outcome of the referendum result
and to seek an agreement with the EU that honoured that. In the event of such a
deal proving elusive then we would leave on WTO terms.
Through all the twists and turns of Brexit my
position has been constant. Let’s try to find a deal worthy or Brexit and if
not then WTO beckons.
