Keir Starmer, Labour’s Shadow Secretary of State for Exiting the EU, responding to David Davis’s comments on the Andrew Marr Show said:

“Labour has been clear that no deal is not a viable option as it would be catastrophic for British trade, jobs and security. The sooner David Davis realises this, the better.

“Instead of preparing for failure the Government should be putting all their efforts into getting a Brexit deal that works for Britain - that means putting jobs and the economy first and dropping the no deal mantra.”
