MP for Esher and Walton, Dominic Raab, has been appointed the new Brexit secretary
He was David Davis’s former chief of Staff.
Davis resigned last night over Theresa May seeking a “facilitated Customs arrangement” with Brussels.
He says it gives away too much too easily, and is too much of a ‘soft’ Brexit.
Raab is a leave supporter, yet the borough of Elmbridge had the highest remain vote in Surrey, at 60%.
Speaking to Nick Robinson last week, Raab said “Leavers should be prepared for a bridge to Brexit that is “rocky” & “takes more time”.
What matters is that the “end state” is good.”
Shadow Brexit secretary Sir Keir Starmer says this makes it clear that “Theresa May does not have the authority to negotiate for Britain”.
Streatham’s Chuka Umunna has this to say:
While Leading Eurosceptic Tory Jacob Rees-Mogg says Theresa May is going back on her promises after Friday's cabinet meeting.
