Gove: Deal will survive
MICHAEL Gove has said he believes the Prime Minister’s Brexit deal will survive.
The Environment Secretary did not say how Theresa May’s proposal will get through Parliament but praised her “determination and focus”.
Speaking after the Journalists’ Charity Scotland lunch in Glasgow on Friday, Mr Gove was asked if the deal can pass.
He said: “Yes I think it can. The Prime Minister has been conducting negotiations on behalf of the country with the tenacity, determination and focus on the national interest that has always characterised her approach.”
But SNP MSP George Adam responded: “The EU have been absolutely clear that there is no chance of a renegotiation of the deal.
“Who is Michael Gove trying to kid? Everyone the length and breadth of the country knows Theresa May’s deal is dead.”
