More quotes by David Davis

If a democracy cannot change its mind, it ceases to be a democracy.

Nobody has ever pretended that this will be easy. I have always said that this negotiation will be tough, complex and, at times, confrontational.

There will be no downside to Brexit, only a considerable upside.
