Creasy – Davis should dump the excuses
Brexit Secretary David Davis has complained about the European Commission
publishing a position paper on the legal ramifications of a transition period
following the UK leaving the EU.
Commenting, Stella Creasy MP, leading supporter of the Open Britain campaign,
said:
“David Davis is the ‘dog ate my homework’ Minister, refusing to take
responsibility for the state of the Brexit negotiations.
“We are almost 18 months into the Brexit process and ministers are still unable
to tell us what they want from Brexit but are never slow to find anyone else to
blame for their own indecision.
“Blaming someone else might play well with a small number of Conservative
backbenchers, but it doesn’t impress any business considering whether to invest
in Britain.
“Maybe he and the rest of the Cabinet should instead find the courage to admit
they should extend the Article 50 process to give them time to sort out what
they want.”
