Has he gone to Oxford to the Mini plant and said 'I know what
BMW are thinking if there is a no-deal Brexit, but I want it so badly, this no-deal Brexit, that I really do
not care about your job' – has he done that?
That would have been the honest thing to do, I suppose.
Has Dr Liam Fox ever said 'Well, I said it would be the easiest trade deal in human history, but on
second thought, it is much more complicated than I promised before the referendum.'
Has Boris
Johnson gone to the doctors and nurses of the NHS and said 'I did promise you 350 million extra
Pounds a week, but sorry, I cannot deliver on that promise.' Have they done that?
I think frankly that
we would need, if want to come out of this situation, a bit more modesty and honesty on all sides.
I also believe – I just refer to a report by the UK government published in November last year – where
it said that if there is a no-deal Brexit, this would cost approximately 9.3% economic growth.
Are you
willing to pay that price, I ask the Brexiteers on this side?
Are you willing to pay that price?
Are you
willing to sacrifice all those jobs for your pipe dream of so-called sovereignty.
What is that sovereignty
going to bring to you if you live that pipe dream?
