David Davis asked to name Brexit benefit – and his response is embarrassing

"No one involved in this project seems to want to take any responsibility for the outcome," said one person in response.

David Davis, who was once our esteemed Brexit secretary until he quit in July 2018, was pushed to tell the nation what are the positive aspects of Brexit.

It comes as the UK faces renewed legal action from Brussels after the move to override large parts of the international deal which was struck over Northern Ireland’s post-Brexit trading arrangements.

If we quickly look back to 2016 Davis said: “There will be no downside to Brexit, only a considerable upside.”

So it was left to Andrew Neil to ask him: “What is the good news in Brexit?”

Quite incredibly Davis claimed it was the wrong kind of Brexit!

He claimed it was a remainers Brexit, whatever that means.

Reactions

Blaming the people who didn’t want to leave the EU for Brexit didn’t go down very well:

1.

A “Remainers Brexit” as overseen by those ardent Leavers, Boris Johnson & David Frost

So Johnson got us a great deal according to Rees-Mogg and Dorries, that is why he needs to stay. Yet David Davis says it was Mays deal and that is the problem. How is a deal with no free trade and freedom of movement a remainers Brexit?

Three times in my career people have come to see me seeking advice who seemed completely sane. It took a good half hour for me to realise they were not. I am sorry to say this, but I think that is now the case with not just one or two, but several people we see in public life. https://t.co/ndNcsLAHkG

David Davis falsely claims that Johnson's withdrawal agreement is the same as May's. And given that it removed the UK-wide links with EU law in her version (which anyway were in principle temporary only), calling it a "Remainers' Brexit" is absurd. https://t.co/nty1BbY4EO
