Britain to continue contact with European Union members for Brexit deal: PM

(The EU’s chief negotiator) Michel Barnier hasn’t got a plan, those in my own party who object to Chequers don’t have a plan.

It has also come under fire from some Tory MPs.

The GMB has become the latest Labour-affiliated trade union to formally support a referendum on the final Brexit deal.

The survey found that 2.6 million Leave voters have now switched to backing Remain, with 970,000 switching the other way – meaning a net gain for the pro-EU side of 1.6 million.

But the government has described it as a “serious plan” and challenged critics to come up with alternative proposals.

He said “there are lots of good things here, but we are not going to accept the Customs proposal and we’re not going to accept the common rulebook for goods”.

Downing Street took a swipe at Mr Johnson’s credibility, choosing to highlight how the country needs “serious leadership” as well as a “serious plan”.

In a move that may give the markets a measure of reassurance, Bank of England Governor Mark Carney said Tuesday that he was talking to the government about extending his term in office to help oversee a smooth Brexit.

However, Mr Johnson said the Border had been “ingeniously manipulated” by some members of the government to block Brexit.

“The nature of the financial settlement, as has been set out in the withdrawal agreement, is contingent upon us agreeing the deal as a whole”, he said.

This would protect citizens’ rights and put in place a temporary transition period after the United Kingdom leaves, he added.

The slump in confidence emerged as Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham prepared to use a major speech in Westminster to call for Brexit to be postponed in order to avoid crashing out of the European Union without a deal.

Australian-born Crosby masterminded the Tories shock general election win in 2015, but “is said to be motivated by “revenge” after No 10 blamed the strategist for last year’s botched General Election”, reports the Mail on Sunday.

If she loses the vote Britain could leave the European Union without a deal and possibly force an early election.

Brexit Secretary Dominic Raab will be grilled by MPs over progress in exit talks later as the Government’s plans face mounting criticism.

Prime Minister Theresa May’s Brexit strategy means disaster for Britain, former foreign secretary Boris Johnson said, as critics at home and officials in Brussels step up their opposition to her plans for how to leave the European Union.

The GMB said it had consulted thousands of members and there was widespread support for a vote on the final outcome of negotiations.

If they are given a blank cheque, I have no faith that their Brexit deal will be good for working people and communities, for our kids and grandkids.

“So I’ll be interested to see what those who are saying: “Chequers isn’t good enough, we need a much harder Brexit”, what do they propose to get through the House of Commons?”
