What they said about May’s deal

● Liberal Democrats leader Vince Cable: “After Theresa May’s statement from Downing Street the crucial change is that the Prime Minister and the government have admitted for the first time that the choice for the country is not just between this bad deal or ‘no deal’. Instead, ‘no Brexit’ is a very real possibility.”

● Former Ukip leader Nigel Farage: “Any Cabinet member who is a genuine Brexiteer must now resign or never be trusted again. This is the worst deal in history.”

● British Chambers of Commerce director general Dr Adam Marshall: “Businesses will recognise the huge efforts made by the Prime Minister and across government to reach this milestone. With people’s livelihoods and the future prospects for many companies in the balance, this is not the time for snap judgments. Businesses will be looking carefully and deliberately at the real-world implications of this agreement over the coming days, and expect their elected representatives to do the same.”

● DUP Brexit spokesman Sammy Wilson: “It’s a poor deal. It’s a bad deal. It’s a deal that she said she’d never accept.”

● Conservative MP for North East Somerset Jacob Rees-mogg: “This will prevent us pursuing a UK trade policy based around our priorities and economy. Without the ability to regulate our own economy and form our own trade agreements, we will lose out on the opportunities that Brexit affords us.”

● Labour MP for Tottenham David Lammy: “On the steps of Downing Street, Theresa May just made a huge concession. Brexit is not inevitable. We do not have to choose between her atrocious deal and no deal at all. We can still remain in the EU. Time for a #Peoplesvote.”
