Brexit. UK offers to "withdraw or deactivate" clauses in controversial law revoking parts of Brexit deal
"No prime minister can accept the terms offered by the EU,"
Prime Minister
Boris Johnson
has warned
in an
appearance in Parliament
, before traveling to Brussels for his decisive meeting with the president of the European Commission Ursula Van der Leyen.
"Our friends in the EU are insisting that if they pass
a law
in the future
that we do not follow
, they automatically reserve the right to punish us," Johnson warned, when asked by
Tory
MP
Edward Leigh.
"And secondly, they are telling us that the United Kingdom will be the only country in the world
that will not be able to have sovereign control of its territorial waters
," added the
premier
, at the time of shaking the specter of "
no deal
" in Westminster.
"The UK will prosper anyway, whether we go for a Canada-style or Australia-style solution," Johnson stressed.
"In any case, we will be a magnet for foreign investment."
The leader of the Labor opposition, Keir Starmer, nevertheless put on the table the report of the Office of Budget Responsibility that warns that the "
no deal
"
can cause a contraction of 2% of the GDP
.
"Leaving the EU without a trade deal
will mean more unemployment, more inflation and a smaller economy
," Starmer warned.
