Commenting on the Conservatives’ White Paper and the appointment of the new Brexit Secretary Dominic Raab, Liberal Democrat Brexit Spokesperson Tom Brake said:

“The new Secretary of State has had his first taste of the Brexit shambles that his party have inflicted on this country.

“Today in the House he failed to outline the cost to British businesses, jobs and households. The people are entitled to know the cost of Brexiters’ folly.”

“I welcome his previous support for the principle that people’s views can change and his statement in 2016 that ‘Tory MPs may push for a second referendum after 2020 if Remain wins’.

“Presumably he will be backing Lib Dem calls for a final say on the deal and an opportunity to Exit from Brexit.”
