“Hunt is asked if his approach – like that of Johnson – is not simply “something that the European Union has said no to on multiple occasions. It’s what Theresa May tried and failed to do many times”.

“Well, what Theresa May tried to do was a deal involving the backstop. I was in cabinet at the time and I supported her loyally but I never thought that was the right approach. What I’m talking about is a deal that doesn’t involve the backstop as it’s constituted at the moment, so it would be different.”
