Keir
Starmer MP, Labour’s Shadow Brexit Secretary, responding to David Davis’ admission that the Government has not carried
out an assessment of the economic impact of leaving the EU without a deal, said:
“The
Government is recklessly talking up the idea of crashing out of the EU with no
deal. They have repeated the mantra that ‘no deal is better than a bad deal’.
“But
we now know they have made no assessment of the economic impact of the Prime
Minister failing to secure a deal.
“What’s
clear, from the CBI and others, is that there is no result that would be worse
for the British economy than leaving with no deal; no deal would be the worst
possible deal. The Government should rule out this dangerous and
counter-productive threat before Article 50 is triggered.”
