Sky News reported comments from the UK PM Theresa May on Tuesday, as she headed to Africa to boost Britain’s trade ties ahead of Brexit in March 2019.
Key Comments:
Failing to secure a deal with the European Union before Britain leaves the bloc next year “wouldn’t be the end of the world”
May said the forecasts cited by Hammond were out of date.
“I think when they came out I was very clear on a previous trip that those figures were a work in progress at that particular time.”
“I think it’s absolutely that the government is preparing for no deal because we don’t know what the outcome is going to be.”
