More quotes by Tom Brake

People should be able to judge Boris Johnson on his actions not his words, with the chance to reject a disastrous Brexit deal and stay in the EU.

Deloitte might be unable to apply for Government contracts for six months, but other consultancy firms are queuing up for their Brexit pay day... it is the British people who are picking up the tab.

As each day goes by, it becomes clearer that the best deal for everyone is to stay in Europe. The people of the UK must be given a vote on the deal and an opportunity to exit from Brexit.

The public will never forgive Labour if the frontbench lose their bottle on Brexit. The Liberal Democrats can guarantee we will fight for the people to have a final say on Brexit, including the option to remain, at every opportunity.

Boris was bang on about the threat of Brexit to the economy and the unity of the country - it is a shame he did not listen to his own warning.
