Fox U-turns on longer EU transition

-

A BREXIT transition­al pact with Brussels could last until 2022, the Internatio­nal Trade Secretary signalled yesterday in another screeching U-turn.

Leave-backing Liam Fox said the time it takes the UK to quit was “not a huge deal”.

He previously backed interim measures of a “few months”.

It is a victory for Chancellor Philip Hammond, who has pushed ministers to back a transition to avoid damaging the economy. Meanwhile Dr Fox said in a letter the BBC ignores positive Brexit stories, in his claims of bias by the Beeb.
