Rachel Reeves MP, Shadow Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, responding to today’s Brexit deal talks, said:

“The Government promised the British people they would deliver their ‘oven-ready’ deal. But just months later they are seeking to undo it, squandering valuable time and losing focus during a pandemic.

“A deal must be reached as a priority so that the Government can then get a grip on tackling the coronavirus and protecting jobs, businesses and communities.”
