Fox also says that "backing May's deal will free the UK"...[face-palm]. Much of the Times interview by Caroline Wheeler (Deputy Political Editor of The Sunday Times) is about Fox telling everyone that Brexit can only happen by supporting May's [extremely bad] deal. WTF is he on? Why do they call Fox a Brexiteer?
He does get some bits right: "As far as I'm concerned, as an elected member of parliament, I’ve been given an instruction by the British people and it’s my democratic duty to do it". Yes, correct. He wishes people "would start to see the upside of Brexit", he's sick of "hearing Brexit always portrayed in terms of the potential difficulties rather than the optimistic and confident way in which I think people who voted across the country to leave the EU saw it." Good...encouraging. BUT, he also says "What you can be sure of is that if we vote for the prime minister’s deal then its 100% certain that we will leave on March 29"; knowing how overtly bad that deal has been proven to be, these are not the words of a 'passionate Brexiteer'.
Amazingly, most of the comments on that article are from Remainers who don't seem to realise Brexiteers disagree with Fox more than they do!
Anyway Mr. Fox, how are those trade deals? "Donald Trump's offer of a 'quick, massive bilateral trade deal' won't be possible if Theresa May's Brexit deal is backed by Parliament, the US ambassador to the UK has warned." [BBC]
