SIR
– It is extraordinary that Hilary Benn, the chairman of the Brexit select
committee, one described Theresa May’s assertion that no
deal is better than a bad deal as
“unsubstantiated”.
It
does not need to be substantiated because it is self-evident. A deal under which
Britain paid billions of pounds for 10 years but agreed to retain free movement
in order to have access to the single market would clearly be worse than no
deal. It would never be as bad as that – but a line needs to be drawn on what is
acceptable to Britain.
All the while Remoaners
suggest that obtaining a deal is so
essential that it does not matter how bad it is. This will give EU negotiators
the impression that a terrible set of conditions will be accepted.
