QUOTES OF THE DAY

As I enter my third year as prime minister I am clear about my mission.

that it makes the prime minister’s job more difficult in negotiations with Brussels, and therefore puts at risk the good Brexit deal that is in reach, it also gives an impression of division to the country. Electorates these days are volatile, but one thing is certain: they do not vote for divided parties.

Sir Graham Brady, chairman of the 1922 Committee of Tory MPs.
