Theresa May slams Brexit trade deal for not including financial services
Former Prime Minister Theresa May has slammed Boris Johnson’s Brexit trade deal for not including provisions on financial services.
May told MPs today that her failed deal was “a better deal” than the Prime Minister’s and said she was “disappointed” his trade agreement does not have a wide-ranging services agreement.
MPs will vote at around 2.30pm today on the UK-EU trade deal, with the legislation set to sail through both houses of parliament in a 12-hour timeframe.
This deal will come into place on 1 January as the UK leaves the EU’s customs union and single market.
