Brexit news: MP says Brits MUST take back control or WALK away from Brexit deal
Tory MP Daniel Kawczynski said it would be “wholly unacceptable” for Britain to accept a Brexit deal which would mean Britain loses out. Mr Kawczynski told Express.co.uk: “I have been told that Mr Barnier has no remit to make those sort of comments at this juncture. But that’s for the media to probe him even more. “It would be wholly unacceptable to have a trading agreement which only took into consideration goods, which we have a trade deficit of £75billion a year with the European Union but not services, which is our key strength. “Britain is one of the world’s best suppliers of the services industry. So the services industry would have to be in the trading agreement in order for us to be able to accept that.”

Mr Kawczynski also said the European Court of Justice (ECJ) was also a “critical issue”. He said it would be “wholly unacceptable” if the ECJ had more power and could overturn decisions of the British courtesy during the Brexit transition period. The Tory MP for Shrewsbury and Atcham said Britain should be prepared to walk away from a deal if the EU is not willing to give Britain a good deal. Mr Kawczynski said Britons “should not be frightened” of falling on to WTO terms. He said: “I don’t think we should be afraid of a no deal. We trade very successfully with the rest of the world on WTO terms.”
“This is a great sort of myth that the Remainers or Remoaners use. “They used to say to us that our economy would go to the edge of a cliff if we vote for Brexit. Now they’re saying if you go to WTO terms, the economy will go off the cliff. “They were proved wrong then. They will be proved wrong now.” The EU’s chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier said in November that if the UK leave the single market then financial firms will lose their EU passporting rights.
