Responding to reports that French President Emmanuel Macron has ruled out any Brexit compromises that risks the EU “unravelling”, Liberal Democrat Brexit Spokesperson Tom Brake said:

“The Prime Minister’s ridiculed Chequers deal has been given its verdict. It is a no in the UK, and a ‘non’ in France. It is ‘nul-points’ from Macron.

“Theresa May is now fast running out of options, leaving the UK facing the harsh consequences of her Brexit mess. But the people should not be left without options. Now more than ever the people should have the final say on the deal and an option to remain in the EU.”
