LONDON - Britain’s Brexit minister Stephen Barclay said on Wednesday a failure to leave the European Union posed a bigger risk to Britain than leaving the bloc without a deal. Lawmakers will vote later on Wednesday on whether Britain should leave the EU on March 29 without any agreement with the bloc having rejected Prime Minister Theresa May’s withdrawal agreement on Tuesday.

“If you pushed me to the end point where it’s a choice between no deal and no Brexit ... I think no deal is going to be very disruptive for the economy and I think no deal also has serious questions for the union,” Barclay told BBC radio. “But I think no Brexit is catastrophic for our democracy. Between those very unpleasant choices, I think no Brexit is the bigger risk.”

Idiot

Brexit is a waste of time.

And in related news, Environment minister says it might be challenging to breathe if there is no air.

really ? how so ? NO DEMOCRACY as matters stand powerful moneyed groups doing whatever they want so now ? only thing brexit delivers is freedom for UK 10% ruling from Europes 10% ruling ... nothing changes for 90% of 'the people' !

He's right.

Let's hope he's right.

Cuz no brexit is a face pan

Risk in which context? For his own and his political party, or for the nation? I think he meant the first.

Without my glasses on, this is 100% Acosta

This is obviously so, anyone who would pause for a moment and think through what now 'remaining' would entail would realise that this is no longer possible

Stephen Barclay will be the first to volunteer to man the hard border between the Republic of Ireland and Northern, right? He can take this vehicle from the times of 'the Troubles', currently at the Imperial War Museum, London, U.K.:

Does anybody know the real Brexit impact.?!

To your career that is...

Who for?

Rubbish, more fake news. The people said leave /means get out. Mp's say remain. Who will win, the people or rogue mp's representing themselves. Gen election required.

But you need to remember he has no idea what No-Deal actually means for business and the economy. Worse, he doesn’t care !!

😂😂😂

Brexit will not go away if it is thwarted now We will be one Leaver Conservative Leader away from leaving by statute as we joined

Rubbish!

The man is lying. Like many other people. Why do they lie so much?

Brexit has become a race in slow motion to see who is the most stupid

Yes but we know he’s having his strings pulled by those who stand to profit massively from no deal

EU's Barnier makes last ditch Brexit offer, Britain 'not impressed'The European Union can give Britain the unilateral right to leave their customs ... His last ditch offer was rejected as unacceptable more than a year ago. The commission does not want a deal - it would nullify its anti-US superstate folly. The euronationalist loons in Brussels do not care what harm they do to member states, their ambition trumps all. Britain might not be impressed, but NI wants that deal. It looks like this Brexit Deal was not well enough cooked for UK tastes. Time to put it back on the grill and charcoal it a bit more.
