The Prime Minister has urged her Cabinet to back the proposed Brexit deal “in the national interest” ahead of a crunch meeting this afternoon.

Theresa May told MPs during Prime Minister’s Questions earlier today:

“The Cabinet will meet this afternoon to consider the draft agreement that the negotiating teams have reached in Brussels, and the Cabinet will decide on the next steps in the national interest.

I am confident that it takes us significantly closer to delivering on what the British people voted for in the referendum.

We will take back control of our borders, our laws and our money and leave the common fisheries policy and the common agricultural policy while protecting jobs, security and the integrity of our United Kingdom.

I will come back to the House to update it on the outcome.”

Tory MP Peter Bone warned Mrs May she will lose support over her Brexit deal, he said:

“Is the Prime Minister aware that if the media reports about the EU agreement are in any way accurate, you are not delivering the Brexit people voted for and that today you will lose the support of many Conservative MPs and millions of voters across the country?”

Wales First Minister Carwyn Jones said the Prime Minister needs to ‘stare down’ the Brexit extremists in her own party, a statement from the Welsh Goverment said:

“We set the blueprint for the right deal in our White Paper, Securing Wales’ Future. While the UK Government has made successive movements towards our position, it is essential the deal enables a future relationship with the EU27 to be reached which includes full and unfettered access to the single market and participation in a customs union.”

We need to see the details of the deal as soon as possible. All the nations of the UK need time to scrutinise what is being proposed as it will have a huge impact on our future.

“So much rests on what the Prime Minister does and can achieve over the next hours.

She needs to stare down the Brexit extremists in her own party and take a course that is right for all of the UK.”
