Additional remarks from British Brexit Secretary Dominic Raab continue to cross the wires.
Key quotes (via Reuters)
- There are different levels of support for Chequers, but we will negotiate the best deal we possibly can.
- The choice come November will be on the deal or a no deal and that should focus minds.
- I am convinced EU’s Barnier wants a deal.
- Not true his conference speech was laying out his stall to run for prime minister.
- Shouldn’t have a closed mind in negotiations, open to listening to other suggestions.
- The EU side tends to look at the Northern Irish border issue as if from an ivory tower, it has to be workable.
- We signed up rightly or wrongly in December to the backstop, we need to honour that.
- Government is not even countenancing a second referendum.
- Dangling a second referendum is way to get EU to offer a deal on lousiest terms.
- I do think that vast majority of lawmakers want us to leave the EU with a deal.
