Jenny
Chapman MP, Shadow
Brexit Minister, responding to Chris Grayling’s comments that Britain
should grow more food in the event of no Brexit deal, said:
“This
is yet another example of the Tories’ chaotic approach to the Brexit
negotiations.
"Rather
than planning for no deal, ministers appear to be telling us to dig for no
deal. British farmers already work incredibly hard and to suggest that they
could simply grow more food is ridiculous.
"The
truth is the biggest threat to Britain crashing out of Europe with no deal is
Tory infighting. Ministers should stop fighting amongst themselves and start
putting the national interest first. That means avoiding a cliff edge for our
economy and agreeing strong transitional arrangements within the single market
and a customs union”.
