The Sun reported that UK Prime Minister has privately told the Cabinet that she will rule out no-deal Brexit. That came under influence of Remainer ministers and the under the worry that hard Brexit would cost UK lost of jobs. But for now, she won’t do it publicly, as it could remove a key bargaining chip with EU.
Bob Sanguinetti, chief executive of the UK Chamber of Shipping, warned that “in the absence of a viable alternative to the Withdrawal Agreement, we continue to be heading for a no-deal scenario which is damaging, disruptive and chaotic to business, to manufacturers and consumers”. And he urged to “put aside party politics and in the moment of need that we find ourselves in, we need to look at the bigger picture and look at what is best for the country”.
Separately, Brexiteer Boris Johnson wrote in Telegraph on Sunday, saying May is seeking legally binding change to the Irish backstop fro the EU. However, Ireland has already make it clear they won’t accept any change to the current backstop agreement.
May’s plan B will be voted in the Commons tomorrow, along with amendments.
