Dominic Raab: Theresa May's deal worse than staying in EU

[AtW]

The former Brexit secretary Dominic Raab has conceded Theresa May’s Brexit deal would be “even worse” than staying in the EU.

The leading Brexiter, who dramatically quit the cabinet last week in protest over the withdrawal agreement negotiated by the prime minister, said he did not advocate staying in the EU but that May’s plan was an inferior option.

Asked on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme what he would do if he had to choose between May’s deal or no Brexit at all, Raab said: “Well, I don’t have to choose that. I’m sorry, I’m not going to give way to hypothetical scenarios. I’ll keep fighting for the best, most successful Brexit.”

Pressed further on whether he thought the deal would be worse than staying in the EU, he replied: “Well, I’m not going to advocate staying in the EU but if you just presented me terms, this deal or EU membership – we’d effectively be bound by the same rules without a control or voice over them – yes, I think this would be even worse than that.”

Finally word of the wise - staying in better than the bad deal (and no deal will be even worse)

He did not concede it. He announced it.

The Brexit plan was nothing to do with Raaaaab. No point in him being there really.

Its all the fault of the uncivil no-service.

Who want the UK stuffed. "This is what happens when the people get a vote. Just trust us.".

New Brexit plan. 1. shoot all beaurocrats. 2. Start again.

There was a plan? Perhaps you should have told the cabinet, they’ve spent two years arguing over it.

The civil service do what they’re told by the elected politicians. That’s democracy for you.

So being the brexit secretary, he negotiated the deal and then denounced it, typical brexiteer

EU does not expect him to concede, EU expects him to ....

Is that the best suggestion you can come up with?

The civil service do what they’re told by the PM, a Remainer. That’s democracy for you.
