The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Philip Hammond, on Peston just now when asked what happens in the event of the deal being voted down. “There could be no deal, but there could equally be no Brexit.”
When pressed on what that meant he said we would be in uncharted territory and nobody could predict what would happen in the chaos that ensues.
He described no smooth transition as costing the economy “tens of billions” of pounds. Paying the EU to ensure smooth transition would be more effective.
