Former Fox adviser mocks ‘packet of crisps’ Brexit plan
Martin Donnelly, former permanent secretary at the Department for International Trade, is planning to give his own speech on Wednesday claiming there is a “marked lack of evidence” that leaving the single market and customs union will lead to greater trade with third-party countries.Speaking on the BBC Today programme on Tuesday, Sir Martin compared the situation to “rejecting a three-course meal now in favour of the promise of a packet of crisps later”.The former mandarin will use his speech to predict that the UK will seek to return to “full membership of the EU single market” in due course, given the “negative consequences” of leaving.
