UK Brexit Minister Stephen Barclay warned that “no deal will be far more likely if MPs reject the PM’s Brexit deal later this month.” And, he urged fellow MPs to “put the national interest first and vote for this deal so we can get on with delivering Brexit and building the UK’s prosperous future as an outward-looking global trading nation, outside the EU.” And he also emphasized that people “people did not vote for the disruption and uncertainty of no deal.”
Foreign Minister Jeremy Hunt also said “there will be some tough negotiations to follow in the years ahead but I think getting this clearer language on the backstop will help to get it through Parliament.” And, there will be “devastating social consequences” if a second EU referendum was triggered.
